Abstract

We study a bottleneck Steiner tree problem: given a set P = {p1, p2,..., pn} of n terminals in the Euclidean plane and a positive integer k, find a Steiner tree with at most k Steiner points such that the length of the longest edges in the tree is minimized. The problem has applications in the design of wireless communication networks. We give a ratio-1.866 approximation algorithm for the problem. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
