Abstract

We study variations of Steiner tree problem. Let P = {p1, p2,…, pn} be a set of n terminals in the Euclidean plane. For a positive integer k, the bottleneck Steiner tree problem (BSTP for short) is to find a Steiner tree with at most k Steiner points such that the length of the longest edges in the tree is minimized. For a positive constant R, the Steiner tree problem with minimum number of Steiner points (STP − MSP for short) asks for a Steiner tree such that each edge in the tree has length at most R and the number of Steiner points is minimized. In this paper, we give (1) a ratio- √ 3 + ε approximation algorithm for BSTP, where ε is an arbitrary positive number; (2) a ratio-3 approximation algorithm for STP-MSP with running time O(n3); (3) a ratio-5/2 approximation algorithm for STP-MSP.
