Abstract
Given a weighted $n$-vertex graph $G$ with integer edge-weights taken from a range $[-M,M]$, we show that the minimum-weight simple path visiting $k$ vertices can be found in time $\tilde{O}(2k \poly(k) M n\omega) = O*(2k M)$. If the weights are reals in $[1,M]$, we provide a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation which has a running time of $\tilde{O}(2k \poly(k) n\omega(\log\log M + 1/\varepsilon))$. For the more general problem of $k$-tree, in which we wish to find a minimum-weight copy of a $k$-node tree $T$ in a given weighted graph $G$, under the same restrictions on edge weights respectively, we give an exact solution of running time $\tilde{O}(2k \poly(k) M n3) $ and a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate solution of running time $\tilde{O}(2k \poly(k) n3(\log\log M + 1/\varepsilon))$. All of the above algorithms are randomized with a polynomially-small error probability.
