The hexagonal coordinate system consists of three axes going through a point forming six 60 ยฐ angles. The hexagonal coordinate system is natural to the Euclidean Steiner tree problem since the lines of a full Steiner minimal tree always form 120 ยฐ angles. In this paper we develop the calculus of hex
For a finite set of points in a metric space a Steiner Minimal Tree (SMT) is a shortest tree which interconnects these points. We also consider a relative of this problem allowing at most k additional points in the tree (k-SMT), where k is a given number. We intend to discuss these problems for all
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
