We consider the k-PRIZE- COLLECTING STEINER TREE PROBLEM. An instance is composed of an integer k and a graph G with costs on edges and penalties on vertices. The objective is to find a tree spanning at least k vertices which minimizes the cost of the edges in the tree plus the penalties of vertices not in the tree. This is one of the most fundamental network design problems and is a common generalization of the PRIZE- COLLECTING STEINER TREE PROBLEM and the k-MINIMUM SPANNING TREE PROBLEM. Our main result is a 2-approximation algorithm, which improves on the currently best known approximation factor of 3.96 and has a faster running time. The algorithm builds on a modification of the primal-dual framework of Goemans and Williamson, and reveals interesting properties that can be applied to other similar problems. (AU) | |
