摘要
Given a connected graph, the Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree Problem (MLSTP) is to find a spanning tree whose number of leaves (degree-one vertices) is maximum. We propose a branch-and-bound algorithm for MLSTP, in which an upper bound is obtained by solving a minimum spanning tree problem. We report computational results for randomly generated graphs and grid graphs with up to 100 vertices.
