A Factor 2 Approximation Algorithm for the Generalized Steiner Network Problem
- COMBINATORICA
"... We present a factor 2 approximation algorithm for finding a minimum-cost subgraph having at least a specified number of edges in each cut. This class of problems includes, among others, the generalized Steiner network problem, which is also known as the survivable network design problem. Our algorit ..."

When trees collide: An approximation algorithm for the generalized Steiner problem on networks
, 1994
"... We give the first approximation algorithm for the generalized network Steiner problem, a problem in network design. An instance consists of a network with link-costs and, for each pair fi; jg of nodes, an edge-connectivity requirement r ij . The goal is to find a minimum-cost network using the a ..."

Approximation Algorithms for Directed Steiner Problems
- Journal of Algorithms
, 1998
"... We give the first non-trivial approximation algorithms for the Steiner tree problem and the generalized Steiner network problem on general directed graphs. These problems have several applications in network design and multicast routing. For both problems, the best ratios known before our work we ..."

A Tight Bound on Approximating Arbitrary Metrics by Tree Metrics
- In Proceedings of the 35th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing
, 2003
"... In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This improves upon the result of Bartal who gave a bound of O(log n log log n). Moreover, our result is existentially tight; t ..."

; there exist metric spaces where any tree embedding must have distortion#sto n)-distortion. This problem lies at the heart of numerous approximation and online algorithms including ones for group Steiner tree, metric labeling, buy-at-bulk network design and metrical task system. Our result improves

, 1993
"... We give the first approximation algorithm for the node-weighted Steiner tree problem. Its performance guarantee is within a constant factor of the best possible unless ~ P ' NP . Our algorithm generalizes to handle other network design problems. ..."

RNC-Approximation Algorithms for the Steiner Problem
- PROC. STACS'97
, 1997
"... In this paper we present an RNC-algorithm for finding a minimum spanning tree in a weighted 3-uniform hypergraph, assuming the edge weights are given in unary, and a fully polynomial time randomized approximation scheme if the edge weights are given in binary. From this result we then derive RNC-app ..."

The Prize Collecting Steiner Tree Problem

We consider several variants on this problem and on the primal-dual 2-approximation algorithm devised for it by Goemans and Williamson. We develop seve ..."
