Title
Parameterized Study of Steiner Tree on Unit Disk Graphs.
Abstract
We study the Steiner Tree problem on unit disk graphs. Given a $n$ vertex unit disk graph $G$, a subset $R\subseteq V(G)$ of $t$ vertices and a positive integer $k$, the objective is to decide if there exists a tree $T$ in $G$ that spans over all vertices of $R$ and uses at most $k$ vertices from $V\setminus R$. The vertices of $R$ are referred to as terminals and the vertices of $V(G)\setminus R$ as Steiner vertices. First, we show that the problem is NP-Hard. Next, we prove that the Steiner Tree problem on unit disk graphs can be solved in $n^{O(\sqrt{t+k})}$ time. We also show that the Steiner Tree problem on unit disk graphs parameterized by $k$ has an FPT algorithm with running time $2^{O(k)}n^{O(1)}$. In fact, the algorithms are designed for a more general class of graphs, called clique-grid graphs. We mention that the algorithmic results can be made to work for the Steiner Tree on disk graphs with bounded aspect ratio. Finally, we prove that the Steiner Tree on disk graphs parameterized by $k$ is W[1]-hard.
