Abstract LetP be a set ofn points on the euclidean plane. LetL s(P) andL m (P) denote the lengths of the Steiner minimum tree and the minimum spanning tree onP, respectively. In 1968, Gilbert and Pollak conjectured that for anyP,L s (P)≥(√3/2)L m (P). We provide a proof for their conjecture in this paper.
