Given a finite set of points P in the Euclidean plane, the Steiner problem asks us to constuct a shortest possible network interconnecting P. Such a network is known as a minimal Steiner tree. The Steiner problem is an intrinsically difficult one, having been shown to be NP-hard [7]; however, it oft
Steiner minimal tree for a given set of points in the plane is a tree which interconnects these points using Eines of shortest possible total length. We construct an infinite class of trees which are the unique full Steiner minimal trees for their sets of endpoints (vertices of degree one).
Let P,,n~>3, be the set of vertices of a regular n-gon and o be the centre of P,. Let P+ = P, u [o}. In this paper we determine the Steiner minimal trees on P+. By this example we will see how complicated the Steiner problem may become if even one regular point not lying on the Steiner polygon is ad
