What is Approximating the Minimum-Degree Steiner Tree to within One of Optimal about?
The problem of constructing a spanning tree for a graph \(G=(V, E)\) with \(n\) vertices whose maximal degree is the smallest among all spanning trees of \(G\) is considered. This problem is easily shown to be NP-hard. In the Steiner version of this problem, along with the input graph, a set of distinguished vertices \(D \subseteq V\) is given. A minimum-degree Steiner tree is a tree of minimum degree which spans at least the set \(D\). Iterative polynomial time approximation algorithms for the problems are given. The algorithms compute trees whose maximal degree is at most \(\Delta^{*}+1\), where \(\Delta^{*}\) is the degree of some optimal tree for the respective problems. Unless \(\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{NP}\), this is the best bound achievable in polynomial time. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
