摘要:This paper investigates induced Steiner subgraphs as a variant of the classical Steiner trees, so as to compactly represent the (exponentially many) Steiner trees sharing the same underlying induced subgraph. We prove that the enumeration of all (inclusion-minimal) induced Steiner subgraphs is harder than the well-known Hypergraph Transversal enumeration problem if the number of terminals is not fixed. When the number of terminals is fixed, we propose a polynomial delay algorithm for listing all induced Steiner subgraphs of minimum size. We also propose a polynomial delay algorithm for listing the set of minimal induced Steiner subgraphs when the number of terminals is 3.
