In the classical Steiner tree problem, given an undirected, connected graph $G=(V,E)$ with non-negative edge costs and a set of \emph{terminals} $T\subseteq V$, the objective is to find a minimum-cost tree $E' \subseteq E$ that spans the…

The resiliency of a network is its ability to remain \emph{effectively} functioning also when any of its nodes or links fails. However, to reduce operational and set-up costs, a network should be small in size, and this conflicts with the…
