Algorithms for Terminal Steiner Trees
The terminal Steiner tree problem (TST) consists of finding a minimum cost Steiner tree where each terminal is a leaf. We describe a factor 2ρ−ρ/(3ρ−2) approximation algor...

Stochastic analyses for online combinatorial optimization problems
In this paper, we study online algorithms when the input is not chosen adversarially, but consists of draws from some given probability distribution. While this model has been stu...

Approximate Maximum Parsimony and Ancestral Maximum Likelihood
— We explore the maximum parsimony (MP) and ancestral maximum likelihood (AML) criteria in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Both problems are NP hard, so we seek approximate sol...

A PTAS for Node-Weighted Steiner Tree in Unit Disk Graphs
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...

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...
