On the Approximation of the Rectilinear Arborescence Problem in the Plane

Research output: Working paper

Abstract

We give a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the rectilinear Steiner arborescence problem in the plane. The result is obtained by modifying Arora's PTAS for Euclidean TSP. The previously best known result was a 2-approximation algorithm.
