In this paper, we study the online Euclidean spanners problem for points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Suppose we are given a sequence of $n$ points $(s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_n)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where point $s_i$ is presented in step~$i$ for $i=1,\ldots,…

The Euclidean Steiner tree problem asks to find a min-cost metric graph that connects a given set of \emph{terminal} points $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, possibly using points not in $X$ which are called Steiner points. Even though near-linear…
