Steiner's problem in graphs and its implications
Abstract
A graph theoretic version of Steiner's problem in plane geometry is described. An approach for solving this problem, related to Melzak's solution to Steiner's problem, is presented. The problems of finding “shortest route” and “minimal spanning tree” in graphs become special cases of the Steiner's problem in graphs. It is shown that a solution to this problem also provides us with a solution to the problems of finding a minimum externally stable set and a maximum internally stable set in a graph.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
