Abstract

The Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree Problem (PCST) on a graph with edge costs and vertex profits asks for a subtree minimizing the sum of the total cost of all edges in the subtree plus the total profit of all vertices not contained in the subtree. PCST appears frequently in the design of utility networks where profit generating customers and the network connecting them have to be chosen in the most profitable way.
