Given a graph with edge lengths and a set of pairs of vertices which should be connected (requirements) the Generalized Steiner Tree Problem (GSTP) asks for a minimum length subgraph that connects every requirement. For the Generalized Steiner Tree Problem restricted to complete graphs with edge lengths 1 and 2, we provide a 1.5-approximation algorithm. It is the first algorithm with the approximation ratio significantly better than 2 for a class of graphs for which GSTP is MAX SNP-hard. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
