Abstract

Selected-internal Steiner minimum tree problem is a generalization of original Steiner minimum tree problem. Given a weighted complete graph G= (V,E) with weight function c, and two subsets $R^{'}\subsetneq R\subseteq V$ with |R茂戮驴 R茂戮驴| 茂戮驴 2, selected-internal Steiner minimum tree problem is to find a Steiner minimum tree Tof Gspanning Rsuch that any leaf of Tdoes not belong to R茂戮驴. In this paper, suppose cis metric, we obtain a (1 + ρ)-approximation algorithm for this problem, where ρis the best-known approximation ratio for the Steiner minimum tree problem.
