Consider the problem of routing the electrical connections among two large
terminal sets in circuit layout. A realistic model for this problem is
given by the vertex-disjoint packing of two Steiner trees (2VPST), which
is known to be NP-complete. This work presents an investigation on the
2VPST polyhedra. The main idea is to start from facet-defining inequalities
for a vertex-weighted Steiner tree polyhedra. Some of these inequalities
are proven to also define facets for the packing polyhedra, while others
are lifted to derive new important families of inequalities, including
proven facets. Separation algorithms are provided. Branch-and-cut implementation
issues are also discussed, including some new practical techniques to improve
the performance of the algorithm. The resulting code is capable of solving
problems on grid graphs with up to 10000 vertices and 5000 terminals in
a few minutes.
