Approximation Algorithms for Node-Weighted Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree Problems on Planar Graphs

Authors: Jaroslaw Byrka, Mateusz Lewandowski, and Carsten Moldenhauer

Abstract
We study the prize-collecting version of the node-weighted Steiner tree problem (NWPCST) restricted to planar graphs. We give a new primal-dual Lagrangian-multiplier-preserving (LMP) 3-approximation algorithm for planar NWPCST. We then show a 2.88-approximation which establishes a new best approximation guarantee for planar NWPCST. This is done by combining our LMP algorithm with a threshold rounding technique and utilizing the 2.4-approximation of Berman and Yaroslavtsev [6] for the version without penalties. We also give a primal-dual 4-approximation algorithm for the more general forest version using techniques introduced by Hajiaghay and Jain [17].
