Abstract:

In this paper, we study the prize-collecting $k$-Steiner tree ($\mathsf{PC}k\mathsf{ST}$) problem. We are given a graph $G=(V, E)$ and an integer $k$. The graph is connected and undirected. A vertex $r\in V$ called root and a subset $R\subseteq V$ called terminals are also given. A feasible solution for the $\mathsf{PC}k\mathsf{ST}$ is a tree $F$ rooted at $r$ and connecting at least $k$ vertices in $R$. Excluding a vertex from the tree incurs a penalty cost, and including an edge in the tree incurs an edge cost. We wish to find a feasible solution with minimum total cost. The total cost of a tree $F$ is the sum of the edge costs of the edges in $F$ and the penalty costs of the vertices not in $F$. We present a simple approximation algorithm with the ratio of 5.9672 for the $\mathsf{PC}k\mathsf{ST}$. This algorithm uses the approximation algorithms for the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) problem and the $k$-Steiner tree ($k\mathsf{ST}$) problem as subroutines. Then we propose a primal-dual based approximation algorithm and improve the approximation ratio to 5.
