چکیده

In this paper, we study the Steiner tree problem with minimum number of Steiner points and bounded edge-length (STPMSPBEL), which asks for a tree interconnecting a given set of n terminal points and a minimum number of Steiner points such that the Euclidean length of each edge is no more than a given positive constant. This problem has applications in VLSI design, WDM optimal networks and wireless communications. We prove that this problem is NF’-complete and present a polynomial time approximation algorithm whose worst-case performance ratio is 5.

A note on the MST heuristic for bounded edge-length Steiner trees with minimum number of Steiner points

We give a tight analysis of the MST heuristic recently introduced by G.-H. Lin and G. Xue for approximating the Steiner tree with minimum number of Steiner points and bounded edge-lengths. The approximation factor of the heuristic is shown to be one less than the MST number of the underlying space, de ned as the maximum possible degree of a minimum-degree MST spanning points from the space. In ...

Terminal Steiner Tree with Bounded Edge Length

In this paper, we study a Steiner tree related problem called “Terminal Steiner Tree with Bounded Edge Length”: given a set of terminal points P in a plane, one is asked to find a Steiner tree T such that any point in P is a leaf in T and the length of each edge in T is no more than a constant b. The objective of the problem is to minimize the number of Steiner points in T . This problem is mot...

Approximating Minimum Steiner Point Trees in Minkowski

Given a set of points, we define a minimum Steiner point tree to be a tree interconnecting these points and possibly some additional points such that the length of every edge is at most 1 and the number of additional points is minimized. We propose using Steiner minimal trees to approximate minimum Steiner point trees. It is shown that in arbitrary metric spaces this gives a performance differe...

Triangulating a convex polygon with fewer number of non-standard bars

For a given convex polygon with inner angle no less than 3π and boundary edge bounded by [l, αl] for 1 ≤ α ≤ 1.4, where l is a given standard bar’s length, we investigate the problem of triangulating the polygon using some Steiner points such that (i) the length of each edge in triangulation is bounded by [βl, 2l], where β is a given constant and meets 0 < β ≤ 1 2 , and (ii) the number of non-s...
