โœฆ Synopsis


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 planes with p-norm, i.e. the affine plane with norm II (tl, t2)II p = (I tx I ~ + I t2 IP) 1/p for 1 ~< p < oo and Ij(tl,t2)lt~ = max{Itll, It21}. We give a survey of results for the combinatorial structure of SMT and k-SMT and show the consequences for the methods to construct such trees.

We prove a conjecture of Chung, Graham, and Gardner (Math. Mag. 62 (1989), 83 96), giving the form of the minimal Steiner trees for the set of points comprising the vertices of a 2 k \_2 k square lattice. Each full component of these minimal trees is the minimal Steiner tree for the four vertices of

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
