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...
Abstract. The node-weighted Steiner tree problem is a variation of classical Steiner minimum tree problem. Given a graph G = (V, E) with node weight function C : V → R+ and a sub...

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...

We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner tree problem with polygonal obstacles in the plane with running time O(n log2 n), where n denotes the numb...
Given an undirected multigraph G and a subset of vertices S V (G), the STEINER TREE PACKING problem is to find a largest collection of edge-disjoint trees that each connects S. T...
