Original abstract

The Steiner tree problem (STP) on a graph involves finding a minimum cost tree which connects a designated subset of the nodes in the graph. This problem generalizes the minimum spanning tree problem and is more complicated since there are Steiner nodes which are not in the designated subset but may or may not be connected by the Steiner tree solution. Variants of the basic network Steiner tree model (Euclidean, rectilinear) can arise in the design of telecommunication networks where customers must be connected to a switching centre. The paper describes solution representations used in heuristic techniques for solving STP.
