چکیده

Among other results, we prove the following theorem about Steiner minimal trees in ddimensional Euclidean space: if two finite sets in R have unique and combinatorially equivalent Steiner minimal trees, then there is a homotopy between the two sets that maintains the uniqueness and the combinatorial structure of the Steiner minimal tree throughout the homotopy.

Bottleneck Distances and Steiner Trees in the Euclidean d-Space

Some of the most efficient heuristics for the Euclidean Steiner minimal trees in the d-dimensional space, d ≥ 2, use Delaunay tessellations and minimum spanning trees to determine small subsets of geometrically close terminals. Their low-cost Steiner trees are determined and concatenated in a greedy fashion to obtain low cost trees spanning all terminals. The weakness of this approach is that o...

Quantitative Illumination of Convex Bodies and Vertex Degrees of Geometric Steiner Minimal Trees

In this note we prove two results on the quantitative illumination parameter f (d) of the unit ball of a d-dimensional normed space introduced by K. Bezdek (1992). The first is that f (d) = O(2dd2 log d). The second involves Steiner minimal trees. Let v(d) be the maximum degree of a vertex, and s(d) of a Steiner point, in a Steiner minimal tree in a d-dimensional normed space, where both maxima...

Computing Steiner minimal trees in Euclidean d-space

In this paper, we propose modifications on Smith’s branch-and-bound (B&B) algorithm for the Euclidean Steiner problem in R. At each node of the B&B tree, we solve a convex programming problem in conic form to obtain a lower bound on the minimal Steiner tree length for a given topology. We also use conic formulation to obtain bounds on the child problems at a given node, that are applied on a st...
