The 3-point Steiner problem on a cylinder

Denise M. Halverson and Andrew E. Logan

Vol. 6 (2013), No. 2, 251–260
Abstract

The 3-point Steiner problem in the Euclidean plane is to find the least length path network connecting three points. In this paper we will demonstrate an algorithm for solving the 3-point Steiner problem on the cylinder.
