In the Euclidean Steiner Tree problem, we are given as input a set of points (called terminals) in the $\ell_2$-metric space and the goal is to find the minimum-cost tree connecting them. Additional points (called Steiner points) from the…
In this note we prove two results on the quantitative illumination parameter f(d) of the unit ball of a d-dimensional normed space introduced by K. Bezdek (1992). The first is that f(d) = O(2^d d^2 log d). The second involves Steiner…
We find upper bounds for the degrees of vertices and Steiner points in Steiner Minimal Trees in the d-dimensional Banach spaces \ell_p^d independent of d. This is in contrast to Minimal Spanning Trees, where the maximum degree of vertices…
The Euclidean Steiner tree problem, normally posed in two dimensions, seeks to connect a set of prescribed terminal nodes by placing additional nodes, known as Steiner points, with edges connecting such nodes either to another Steiner point…
The 1-Steiner tree problem, the problem of constructing a Steiner minimum tree containing at most one Steiner point, has been solved in the Euclidean plane by Georgakopoulos and Papadimitriou using plane subdivisions called oriented…
The Steiner tree problem can be stated in terms of finding a connected set of minimal length containing a given set of finitely many points. We show how to formulate it as a mass-minimization problem for $1$-dimensional currents with…
We consider a general metric Steiner problem which is of finding a set $\mathcal{S}$ with minimal length such that $\mathcal{S} \cup A$ is connected, where $A$ is a given compact subset of a given complete metric space $X$; a solution is…
An approximate Steiner tree is a Steiner tree on a given set of terminals in Euclidean space such that the angles at the Steiner points are within a specified error e from 120 degrees.This notion arises in numerical approximations of…
We prove that the set of $n$-point configurations for which the solution of the planar Steiner problem is not unique has the Hausdorff dimension at most $2n-1$ (as a subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$). Moreover, we show that the Hausdorff…
Given a set of points, we define a minimum Steiner point tree to be a tree interconnecting these points and possibly some additional points such that the length of every edge is at most 1 and the number of additional points is minimized. We…
Consider a compact $M \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $r > 0$. A maximal distance minimizer problem is to find a connected compact set $\Sigma$ of the minimal length, such that \[ \max_{y \in M} dist (y, \Sigma) \leq r. \] The inverse problem is…
Discretization of the uniform norm of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace of continuous functions is studied. Previous known results show that for any $N$-dimensional subspace of the space of continuous functions it is…
Among other results, we prove the following theorem about Steiner minimal trees in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space: if two finite sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ have unique and combinatorially equivalent Steiner minimal trees, then there is a…
The Euclidean Steiner problem is the problem of finding a set $St$, with the shortest length, such that $St \cup A$ is connected, where $A$ is a given set in a Euclidean space. The solutions $St$ to the Steiner problem will be called…
We give a complete proof that in any finite-dimensional normed linear space a finite set of points has a minimal spanning tree in which the maximum degree is bounded above by the strict Hadwiger number of the unit ball, i.e., the largest…
The Steiner Tree problem is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization: the goal is to connect a set $T$ of terminals in a graph $G$ by a tree of minimum size. Karpinski and Zelikovsky (1996) studied the $\delta$-dense version of…
Given a metric space on n points, an {\alpha}-approximate universal algorithm for the Steiner tree problem outputs a distribution over rooted spanning trees such that for any subset X of vertices containing the root, the expected cost of…
We give a sharpened form of Siegel Lemma's w. r. t. the maximum norm. This implies a new lower bound on the greatest element of a sum-distinct set of positive integers (Erd\"os-Moser problem). The main tools are Minkowski's theorem on…
We consider the problem of embedding the Steiner points of a Steiner tree with given topology into the rectilinear plane. Thereby, the length of the path between a distinguished terminal and each other terminal must not exceed given length…
We give a new proof that a star $\{op_i:i=1,...,k\}$ in a normed plane is a Steiner minimal tree of its vertices $\{o,p_1,...,p_k\}$ if and only if all angles formed by the edges at o are absorbing [Swanepoel, Networks \textbf{36} (2000),…
