Abstract. The Steiner tree problem is to find a shortest subgraph that spans a given set of vertices in a graph. This problem is known to be NP-hard and it is well known that a pol...
The natural relaxation for the Group Steiner Tree problem, as well as for its generalization, the Directed Steiner Tree problem, is a flow-based linear programming relaxation. We...

We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...
