Euclidean Steiner Shallow-Light Trees in Higher Dimensions

Abstract

This paper proves a conjecture by Solomon about Steiner shallow-light trees (SLT) in Euclidean dd-space: It is shown that for any finite point set Rd\mathbb{R}^d, any root, and any ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there is a Euclidean Steiner (1+ϵ,O(1/ϵ))(1+\epsilon,O(\sqrt{1/\epsilon}))-SLT without any dependence on dimension. We also revisit the core example, designed by Solomon, in the plane and its generalization to dd-space.
