In this paper, we describe the facial structure of the steiner problem in a directed graph by formulating it as set covering problem. We first characterize trivial facets and derive a necessary condition for nontrival facets. We also introduce a class of valid inequalities with 0-1 coefficients and show when such inequalities define facets.

The Steiner arborescence problem is known to be NP-hard. The objective of this problem is to find a minimal Steiner tree which starts from a designated node and spans all given terminal nodes. This paper proposes a method based on a two-step procedure to solve this problem efficiently. In the first step, graph reduction rules eliminate useless nodes and arcs which do not contribute to make an optimal solution. In the second step. ant colony algorithm with use of Prim's algorithm is used to solve the Steiner arborescence problem in the reduced graph. The proposed method based on a two-step procedure is tested in the five test problems. The results show that this method finds the optimal solutions to the tested problems within 50 seconds. The algorithm can be applied to undirected Steiner tree problems with minor changes. 18 problems taken from Beasley are used to compare the performances of the proposed algorithm and Singh et al.'s algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm generates better solutions than the algorithm compared.

The group Steiner tree problem is a generalization of the Steiner tree problem that is defined as follows. Given a weighted graph with a family of subsets of nodes, called groups, the problem is to find a minimum weighted tree that contains at least one node in each group. We present some existing and some new formulations for the problem and compare the relaxations of such formulations.

글로벌 라우팅(global routing)은 VLSI 설계 과정중의 하나로, 네트리스트의 모든 네트들을 연결하기 위하여 각 네트들을 라우팅 영역(routing area)에 할당시키는 문제이며, 글로벌 라우팅에서 최적의 해를 얻기 위해 maze routing 알고리즘, line-probe 알고리즘, shortest path 기반 알고리즘, Steiner tree 기반 알고리즘등이 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 라우팅 그래프에서 최단 경로 Steiner tree 탐색방법인 weighted network heuristic(WNH)과 이를 기반으로 하는 글로벌 라우팅 유전자 알고리즘(genetic algorithm; GA)을 제안하였으며, 제안한 방식을 시뮬레이티드 어닐링(SA) 방식과 비교, 분석하였다.

In this paper, we construct one-factorizations of given complete graphs of even order. These constructions partition the edges of the complete graph into one-factors and triples. Our new constructions of one-factors and triples can be applied to a recursive construction of Steiner triple systems for all possible orders ${\geq}$15.

클러스터 센서 네트워크는 여러 개의 중심 노드 주위에 다른 입력 노드들이 밀집된 분포를 보이는 센서 네트워크이다. 최소 스타이너 트리는 스타이너 포인트들을 도입하여 모든 입력 노드들을 최소 비용으로 연결하는 트리이다. 본 논문에서는 센서 노드와 베이스 스테이션의 연결인 간선들을, 클러스터 내에서와 클러스터 사이에서 각각 생성하고, 이를 이용하여 근사 최소 스타이너 트리를 반복적으로 생성하여, 단축된 길이의 클러스터 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 방법을 제안한다. 실행 시간 복잡도가 O($N^2$)인 제안된 방법으로 생성된 클러스터 센서 네트워크들은, 본 논문의 실험에서 유클리드 최소 신장 트리 방법의 네트워크들과 비교하여 생성 시간이 1170.5% 증가하였으나 최소치보다 0.1% 증가된 길이의 네트워크는 20.3%의 증가된 시간에 생성이 가능했다. 이 클러스터 센서 네트워크의 평균 길이는 유클리드 최소 신장 트리 방법과 비교하여 최대 3.7%, 평균 1.9% 감소되었다.

We consider the Steiner tree packing problem. For a given undirected graph G =(V, E) with positive integer capacities and non-negative weights on its edges, and a list of node sets(nets), the problem is to find a connection of nets which satisfies the edge capacity limits and minimizes the total weights. We focus on the switchbox routing problem in knock-knee model and formulate this problem as an integer programming using Steiner tree variables. The model contains exponential number of variables, but the problem can be solved using a polynomial time column generation procedure. We test the algorithm on some standard test instances and compare the performances with the results using cutting plane approach. Computational results show that our algorithm is competitive to the cutting plane algorithm presented by Grotschel et al. and can be used to solve practically sized problems.

The undirected Steiner tree problem in graphs is known to be NP-hard. The objective of this problem is to find a shortest tree containing a subset of nodes, called terminal nodes. This paper proposes a method based on a two-step procedure to solve this problem efficiently. In the first step. graph reduction rules eliminate useless nodes and edges which do not contribute to make an optimal solution. In the second step, a max-min ant colony optimization combined with Prim's algorithm is developed to solve the reduced problem. The proposed algorithm is tested in the sets of standard test problems. The results show that the algorithm efficiently presents very correct solutions to the benchmark problems.

The class of doubly chordal graphs is a subclass of chordal graphs and a superclass of strongly chordal graphs which arise in so many application areas. Many optimization problems like domination and Steiner tree are NP-complete on chordal graps but can be solved in polynomial time on doubly chordal graphs. The central to designing efficient algorithms for doulby chordal graphs is the concept of (canonical)doubly perfect elimination orderings. We present linear time algorithms to compute a (canonical) double perfect elimination ordering of a doubly chordal graph.
