چکیده

In this paper we continue the investigations in GMW92a] for the Stei-ner tree packing polyhedron. We present several new classes of valid inequalities and give suucient (and necessary) conditions for these inequalities to be facet-deening. It is intended to incorporate these inequalities into an existing cutting plane algorithm that is applicable to practical problems arising in the design of electronic circuits.

Vertex-Disjoint Packing of Two Steiner Trees: Polyhedra and Branch-and-Cut

Consider the problem of routing the electrical connections among two large terminal sets in circuit layout. A realistic model for this problem is given by the vertex-disjoint packing of two Steiner trees (2VPST), which is known to be NP-complete. This work presents an investigation on the 2VPST polyhedra. The main idea is to depart from facet-deening inequalities for a vertex-weighted Steiner t...

Steiner Trees with Degree Constraints: Structural Results and an Exact Solution Approach

In this paper we study the Steiner tree problem with degree constraints. Motivated by an application in computational biology we first focus on binary Steiner trees in which all node degrees are required to be at most three. We then present results for general degree-constrained Steiner trees. It is shown that finding a binary Steiner is NP-complete for arbitrary graphs. We relate the problem t...

Packing Steiner trees

Let T be a distinguished subset of vertices in a graph G. A T Steiner tree is a subgraph of G that is a tree and that spans T . Kriesell conjectured that G contains k pairwise edge-disjoint T -Steiner trees provided that every edge-cut of G that separates T has size ≥ 2k. When T = V (G) a T -Steiner tree is a spanning tree and the conjecture is a consequence of a classic theorem due to Nash-Wil...

Packing Steiner trees: polyhedral investigations

Let G = (V; E) be a graph and T V be a node set. We call an edge set S a Steiner tree with respect to T if S connects all pairs of nodes in T. In this paper we address the following problem, which we call the weighted Steiner tree packing problem. Given a graph G = (V; E) with edge weights w e , edge capacities a Steiner tree with respect to T k , at most c e of these edge sets use edge e for e...

Simple Algorithms for Steiner Trees and Paths Packing Problems in Planar Graphs

In this paper we give a short survey on eecient algorithms for Steiner trees and paths packing problems in planar graphs. We particularly concentrate on recent results. The rst result is a linear-time algorithm for packing vertex-disjoint trees resp. paths within a planar graph, where the vertices to be connected lie on at most two diierent faces 26, 32]. This algorithm is based on a linear-tim...
