Efficient and Progressive Group Steiner Tree Search
Summary: Proposes PrunedDP for GST using optimal-tree decomposition and conditional-tree merging to prune DP search. With progressive A*-search and tight bounds, it yields refinements, huge speedups and lower memory, often locating optimal GST solutions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
