چکیده

Motivated by the reconstruction of phylogenetic tree in biology, we study the full Steiner tree problem in this paper. Given a complete graph G = (V; E) with a length function on E and a proper subset R ⊂ V , the problem is to 4nd a full Steiner tree of minimum length in G, which is a kind of Steiner tree with all the vertices of R as its leaves. In this paper, we show that this problem is NP-complete and MAX SNP-hard, even when the lengths of the edges are restricted to either 1 or 2. For the instances with lengths either 1 or 2, we give a 5 -approximation algorithm to 4nd an approximate solution for the problem. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On the hardness of full Steiner tree problems

Given a weighted graph G = (V,E) and a subset R of V , a Steiner tree in G is a tree which spans all vertices in R. The vertices in V \R are called Steiner vertices. A full Steiner tree is a Steiner tree in which each vertex of R is a leaf. The full Steiner tree problem is to find a full Steiner tree with minimum weight. The bottleneck full Steiner tree problem is to find a full Steiner tree wh...

On the Full and Bottleneck Full Steiner Tree Problems

Given a graph G = (V, E) with a length function on edges and a subset R of V , the full Steiner tree is defined to be a Steiner tree in G with all the vertices of R as its leaves. Then the full Steiner tree problem is to find a full Steiner tree in G with minimum length, and the bottleneck full Steiner tree problem is to find a full Steiner tree T in G such that the length of the largest edge i...

Approximating Full Steiner Tree in a Unit Disk Graph

Given an edge-weighted graph G = (V,E) and a subset R of V , a Steiner tree of G is a tree which spans all the vertices in R. A full Steiner tree is a Steiner tree which has all the vertices of R as its leaves. The full Steiner tree problem is to find a full Steiner tree of G with minimum weight. In this paper we present a 20-approximation algorithm for the full Steiner tree problem when G is a...

Solving a tri-objective convergent product network using the Steiner tree

Considering convergent product as an important manufacturing technology for digital products, we integrate functions and sub-functions using a comprehensive fuzzy mathematical optimization process. To form the convergent product, a web-based fuzzy network is considered in which a collection of base functions and sub-functions configure the nodes and each arc in the network is to be a link betwe...

Rectilinear Full Steiner Tree Generation Rectilinear Full Steiner Tree Generation

The fastest exact algorithm (in practice) for the rectilinear Steiner tree problem in the plane uses a two-phase scheme: First a small but suucient set of full Steiner trees (FSTs) is generated and then a Steiner minimum tree is constructed from this set by using simple backtrack search, dynamic programming or an integer programming formulation. FST generation methods can be seen as problem red...
