A Steiner Problem in graphs is the problem of finding a set of edges (arcs) with minimum total weight which connects a given set of nodes in an edge- weighted graph (directed or undirected). This paper develops models for the directed Steiner tree problem on graphs. New and old models are examined in terms of their amenability to solution schemes basd on Lagrangian relaxation. As a result, three algorithms are presented and their performance compared on a number of problems originally tested by Beasley (1984, 1987) in the case of undirected graphs. Keywords: Networks, Operations research. (KR)

A characterization of graphs with interval two-step graphs
Merz, Sarah K.; Rasmussen, Craig W.; Lundgren, J. Richard; Maybee, John Stanley (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993); NPS-MA-93-021One of the intriguing open problems on competition graphs is determining what digraphs have interval competition graphs. In this paper we consider this problem for the class of loopless symmetric digraphs. Here we first ... -
