On finding Steiner vertices. (English) Zbl 0644.90095

Summary: Given a graph \(G=(V,E)\), finding the Steiner tree in G for some set of special vertices V’\(\subset V\) is equivalent to finding the minimum spanning tree in the subgraph of G induced by V’\(\cup V''\), where V” is the set of Steiner vertices. We consider ways of deciding which vertices of V are in V” and compare the performance of various heuristic algorithms.
