Here we study the thumbnail rectilinear Steiner tree problem, where the input points are drawn from a small integer grid. Specifically, we devise a full-set decomposition algorithm for computing optimal thumbnail rectilinear Steiner trees. We then present experimental results comparing this algorithm with two existing algorithms for computing optimal rectilinear Steiner trees. The thumbnail rectilinear Steiner tree problem has applications in VLSI placement algorithms based on geometric partitioning and in global routing of field-programmable gate arrays.
