Approximate k-MSTs and k-Steiner Trees via the Primal-Dual Method and Lagrangean Relaxation
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...

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...

A new heuristic for rectilinear Steiner trees
The minimum rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) problem is one of the fundamental problems in the field of electronic design automation. The problem is NP-hard, and much work has been ...

Stochastic Steiner Tree with Non-uniform Inflation
We study the Steiner Tree problem in the model of two-stage stochastic optimization with non-uniform inflation factors, and give a poly-logarithmic approximation factor for this pr...

A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
