Abstract in LaTeX format:
We present two theoretically interesting and empirically successful
techniques for improving the linear programming approaches, namely
graph transformation and local cuts, in the context of the
Steiner problem. We show the impact of these techniques on the
solution of the largest benchmark instances ever solved.
