Abstract

We consider the problem of balancing shortest-path trees and Steiner minimum trees in the rectilinear plane. This problem has applications in telecommunication, wire routing and VLSI physical design. We present a polynomial time approximation algorithm which simultaneously approximates both the shortest-path tree and the Steiner minimum tree. Previous results guarantee a balanced approximation ratio of about 2.4142. Our algorithm improves the value to 2.0806.
