Abstract

We consider a generalization of the Steiner tree problem on graphs suitable for the design of the last mile in fiber optic networks and propose a multi commodity flow formulation for the exact solution of this problem. Some experimental results are discussed.

This work is supported by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) under grant 811378 and the European Marie Curie RTN ADONET under grant 504438.
