The theory introduces a model where a surface of completely crystalline polymer is created and introduces surface energy parameters to describe the process.

Steiner tree problem

The Steiner tree problem, or minimum Steiner tree problem, named after Jakob Steiner, is an umbrella term for a class of problems in combinatorial optimization. While Steiner tree problems may be formulated in a number of settings, they all require an optimal interconnect for a given set of objects and a predefined objective function.

Steiner system

In combinatorial mathematics, a Steiner system is a type of block design, specifically a t-design with λ = 1 and t ≥ 2. A Steiner system with parameters t, k, n, written S(t,k,n), is an n-element set S together with a set of k-element subsets of S (called blocks) with the property that each t-element subset of S is contained in exactly one block.
