Steiner Forest via Primal-Dual
In this video, we look at the 2-approximation for the Minimum Steiner Forest Problem using the primal-dual scheme with synchronized increases.
In a previous video, I should you how to use the primal-dual scheme for set cover problem. But this is not just yet another application, but what is new here are the "synchronized increases", i.e., we are increasing several dual variables at the same time.
