In this paper, we consider the group prize-collecting Steiner tree problem with submodular penalties (GPCST-SP problem). In this problem, we are given an undirected connected graphwith a pre-specified rootrand a partitionofVwith. Assumeis an edge cost function andis a submodular penalty function, whereis the set of nonnegative real numbers. For a group, we say it is spanned by a tree if the tree contains at least one vertex of that group. The goal of the GPCST-SP problem is to find anr-rooted tree that minimizes the costs of the edges in the tree plus the penalty cost of the subcollectioncontaining these groups not spanned by the tree. Our main result is a 2I-approximation algorithm for the problem, where.
