The authors present new complexity results on two versions of the planar Steiner tree problem, the bottleneck problem (in which the maximum edge weight is minimized) and the power-\(p\) problem (in which the sum of edge weights raised to the \(p\)-th power is minimized). It is shown that the former problem has no 2-approximation (unless \(P=NP)\) and that the latter is MAX SNP-hard. The interrelation between minimum spanning trees and power-\(p\) Steiner trees is investigated and an approximation algorithm for the bottleneck Steiner tree problem with performance guarantee \(\log_2n\) \((n=\) number of terminals) is developed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0932.00010].
