An Improved LP-based Approximation for Steiner Tree
The Steiner tree problem is one of the most fundamental ÆÈ-hard problems: given a weighted undirected graph and a subset of terminal nodes, find a minimum weight tree spanning ...

Improved Steiner tree approximation in graphs
The Steiner tree problem in weighted graphs seeks a minimum weight connected subgraph containing a given subset of the vertices terminals. We present a new polynomial-time heurist...

Approximating the Weight of Shallow Steiner Trees
This paper deals with the problem of constructing Steiner trees of minimum weight with diameter bounded by d, spanning a given set of vertices in a graph. Exact solutions or logar...

Analysis of two Sweep-line Algorithms for Constructing Spanning Trees and Steiner Trees
: We give a tight analysis of an old and popular sweep-line heuristic for constructing a spanning tree of a set of n points in the plane. The algorithm sweeps a vertical line acros...

How Well Can Primal-Dual and Local-Ratio Algorithms Perform?
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
