In this paper we improve the results in the literature concerning the problem of computing the minimum Steiner tree given the minimum Steiner tree for a similar problem instance.

Abstract

In this paper we improve the results in the literature concerning the problem of computing the minimum Steiner tree given the minimum Steiner tree for a similar problem instance. Using a σ-approximation algorithm computing the minimum Steiner tree from scratch, we provide a (3σ−12σ−1+ϵ) and a (2σ−1σ+ϵ) -approximation algorithm for altering the instance by removing a vertex from the terminal set and by increasing the cost of an edge, respectively. If we use the best up to date σ = ln 4 + ε, our ratios equal 1.218 and 1.279 respectively.
