Abstract

We present a new deterministic algorithm for the Steiner tree problem in weighted graphs. Its running time is O(nk2^k^+^(^l^o^g^"^2^k^)^(^l^o^g^"^2^n^)), where n is the number of vertices and k is the number of terminals. This is faster than all previously known algorithms if logn(loglogn)^3
