A Fast Prize-Collecting Steiner Forest Algorithm for Functional Analyses in Biological Networks

The Prize-collecting Steiner Forest (PCSF) problem is NP-hard, requiring extreme computational effort to find exact solutions for large inputs. We introduce a new heuristic algorithm for PCSF which preserves the quality of solutions obtained by previous heuristic approaches while reducing the runtim...
