TLDR
The heuristic algorithm has a worst case time complexity of O(¦S¦¦V¦2) on a random access computer and it guarantees to output a tree that spans S with total distance on its edges no more than 2(1−1/l) times that of the optimal tree.
Abstract
Given an undirected distance graph G=(V, E, d) and a set S, where V is the set of vertices in G, E is the set of edges in G, d is a distance function which maps E into the set of nonnegative numbers and S?V is a subset of the vertices of V, the Steiner tree problem is to find a tree of G that spans S with minimal total distance on its edges. In this paper, we analyze a heuristic algorithm for the Steiner tree problem. The heuristic algorithm has a worst case time complexity of O(¦S¦¦V¦ 2) on a random access computer and it guarantees to output a tree that spans S with total distance on its edges no more than 2(1?1/l) times that of the optimal tree, where l is the number of leaves in the optimal tree.

An efficient IP based approach for multicast routing optimisation in multi-homing environments

TL;DR: This paper proposes a set of heuristic algorithms for the formulated multi-objective optimisation problem considering both intra- and inter-domain operation and shows that the proposed schemes achieve significant improvement in the relevant performance compared to conventional approaches.

Real-time optimal multicast routing

TL;DR: A new path selection method that takes both cost and delay into consideration is presented that can sustain the scaling advantage of CBT without letting the delay from source to any destination exceed a real-time constraint.

On the Integrality Gap of Directed Steiner Tree Problem

TL;DR: A polynomial-time O(log |X|)-approximation for quasi-bipartite instances of Directed Steiner Tree is presented and bounds the integrality gap of the natural LP relaxation by the same quantity.

Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems

TL;DR: The work of Dantzig, Fulkerson, Hoffman, Edmonds, Lawler and other pioneers on network flows, matching and matroids acquainted me with the elegant and efficient algorithms that were sometimes possible.

Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems.

TL;DR: Throughout the 1960s I worked on combinatorial optimization problems including logic circuit design with Paul Roth and assembly line balancing and the traveling salesman problem with Mike Held, which made me aware of the importance of distinction between polynomial-time and superpolynomial-time solvability.

Algorithm 97: Shortest path

TL;DR: The procedure was originally programmed in FORTRAN for the Control Data 160 desk-size computer and was limited to te t ra t ion because subroutine recursiveness in CONTROL Data 160 FORTRan has been held down to four levels in the interests of economy.

Steiner Minimal Trees

TL;DR: A Steiner minimal tree for given points in the plane is a tree which interconnects these points using lines of shortest possible total length as mentioned in this paper, where the length of the shortest possible line is chosen.
