A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Euclidean Steiner Forest
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...

Euclidean Prize-Collecting Steiner Forest
In this paper, we consider Steiner forest and its generalizations, prize-collecting Steiner forest and k-Steiner forest, when the vertices of the input graph are points in the Euc...

Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Weighted Planar Graph TSP
Given a planar graph on n nodes with costs weights on its edges, de ne the distance between nodes i and j as the length of the shortest path between i and j. Consider this as an i...

Approximation Schemes for Node-Weighted Geometric Steiner Tree Problems
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new technique for approximation schemes for geometrical optimization problems. As an example problem, we consider the following variant of th...
