A Truthful (2–2/k)-Approximation Mechanism for the Steiner Tree Problem with k Terminals
Let a communication network be modelled by an undirected graph G=(V,E) of n nodes and m edges, and assume that each edge is owned by a selfish agent, which establishes the cost of using her edge by pursuing only ...
