Abstract: In this work, we consider the minimum-cost shared Steiner arborescence problem (SStA). In this problem, the goal is to find a minimum-cost subgraph, which is shared among multiple entities and each entity is able to establish a cost-efficient Steiner arborescence. The SStA has been recently used in the literature to establish shared functional modules in protein-protein interaction networks.
