The problem of "Shortest Connectivity" has a long and convoluted history: given a finite set of points in a metric space, search for a network that connects these points with the shortest possible length. This shortest network must be a tree and may contain vertices different from the points which are to be connected. Over the years more and more real-life problems are given, which use this problem or one of its relatives as an application, as a subproblem or a model.
This volume is an introduction to the theory of "Shortest Connectivity", as the core of the so-called "Geometric Network Design Problems", where the general problem can be stated as follows: given a configuration of vertices and/or edges, find a network which contains these objects, satisfies some predetermined requirements, and which minimizes a given objective function that depends on several distance measures. A new application of shortest connectivity is also discussed, namely to create trees which reflect the evolutionary history of "living entities".
