Abstract

Recently, we proposed a new strategy for designing algorithms, called the searching over separators strategy. We applied this approach to solve some famous NP-Complete problems in subexponential time such as the discrete Euclidean P-median problem, the discrete Euclidean P-center problem, the Euclidean P-center problem and the Euclidean traveling salesperson problem. In this paper, we further extend this strategy to solve two well known NP-Complete problems, the planar partition-into-clique problem (PCliPar) and the planar steiner tree problem (PStTree). We propose \(O(n^{o(\sqrt n )} )\) algorithms for both problems, where n is the number of vertices in the input graph.
