Abstract:
We give a complete description of small neighborhoods of the closures of lunes of the edges of Steiner minimal trees (Theorem 1.1); to this end, we prove a generalization of a stabilization theorem for embedded locally minimal trees [1]; the case of two such disjoint trees is considered (Theorem 2.2).
Keywords:Steiner minimal tree, locally minimal tree, lune of an edge of a tree, linear graph, shortest tree.
