Let G be a graph with n vertices and n edges. The problem of constructing a spanning tree is to find a connected subgraph of G with n vertices and n -1 edges. In this paper, we propose an O(log n) time parallel algorithm with O(n/ log n) processors on an EREW PRAM for constructing a spanning tree on trapezoid graphs.

Power supplying capacity of the distribution feeder should be maintained within thermal capacity of the wire. This paper presents the minimum spanning tree based load balancing technique to release multiple overloading of distribution feeders. In order to minimize number of involved backup feeders, Dijkstra and Prim algorithm are adopted to construct minimum spanning tree. Simulation testing result based on part of KEPCO's commercial distribution systems shows effectiveness of proposed scheme.

This paper deals with optimum communication spanning tree(OCST) problem. Generally, OCST problem is known as NP-hard problem and recently, it is reveled as MAX SNP hard by Papadimitriou and Yannakakis. Nevertheless, many researchers have used polynomial approximation algorithm for solving this problem. This paper uses evolutionary algorithm. Especially, when an evolutionary algorithm is applied to tree network problem such as the OCST problem, representation and genetic operator should be considered simultaneously because they affect greatly the performance of algorithm. So, we introduce a new representation method to improve the weakness of previous representation which is proposed for solving the degree constrained minimum spanning tree problem. And we also propose a new decoding method to generate a reliable tree using the proposed representation. And then, for finding a suitable genetic operator which works well on the proposed representation, we tested three kinds of genetic operators using the information of network or the genetic information of parents. Consequently, we could confirm that the proposed method gives better results than the previous methods.

Employing PTAS to building minimum spanning tree for a large number of equal distribution input terminal nodes can be a effective way in execution time. But applying PTAS to building minimum spanning tree for tremendous unequal distribution node may lead to performance degradation. In this paper, a partial PTAS reflecting the scheme into specific node dense area is presented. In the environment where 90% of 50,000 input terminal nodes stand close together in specific area, approximate minimum spanning tree by our proposed scheme can show about 88.49% execution time less and 0.86%tree length less than by existing PTAS, and about 87.57%execution time less and 1.18% tree length more than by Prim's naive scheme. Therefore our scheme can go well to many useful applications where a multitude of nodes gathered around specific area should be connected efficiently as soon as possible.

This paper proposes a mechanism for prompt and efficient construction of sensor network connecting sensor nodes and base stations using limited length edges minimum spanning tree. This mechanism can rapidly build a connecting tree which may be used in routing of sensor network. In an experiment for 2000 input terminal nodes, this mechanism can curtail 94.7% construction time comparing with the method by naive minimum spanning tree without tree length overheads. This shows the proposed mechanism can apply well to the application of swift construction of a sensor network.

This study deals with the DCMST (Delay constrained Capacitated Minimum Spanning Tree) problem applied in the topological design of local networks or finding several communication paths from root node. While the traditional CMST problem has only the traffic capacity constraint served by a port of root node, the DCMST problem has the additional mean delay constraint of network. The DCMST problem consists of finding a set of spanning trees to link end-nodes to the root node satisfying the traffic requirements at end-nodes and the required mean delay of network. The objective function of problem is to minimize the total link cost. This paper presents two-phased heuristic algorithm, which consists of node exchange, and node shift algorithm based on the trade-off criterions, and mean delay algorithm. Actual computational experience and performance analysis show that the proposed algorithm can produce better solution than the existing algorithm for the CMST problem to consider the mean delay constraint in terms of cost.

The high-level contribution of this paper is to illustrate the effectiveness of using graph theory tree traversal algorithms (pre-order, in-order and post-order traversals) to generate the chain of sensor nodes in the classical Power Efficient-Gathering in Sensor Information Systems (PEGASIS) data aggregation protocol for wireless sensor networks. We first construct an undirected minimum-weight spanning tree (ud-MST) on a complete sensor network graph, wherein the weight of each edge is the Euclidean distance between the constituent nodes of the edge. A Breadth-First-Search of the ud-MST, starting with the node located closest to the center of the network, is now conducted to iteratively construct a rooted directed minimum-weight spanning tree (rd-MST). The three tree traversal algorithms are then executed on the rd-MST and the node sequence resulting from each of the traversals is used as the chain of nodes for the PEGASIS protocol. Simulation studies on PEGASIS conducted for both TDMA and CDMA systems illustrate that using the chain of nodes generated from the tree traversal algorithms, the node lifetime can improve as large as by 19%-30% and at the same time, the energy loss per node can be 19%-35% lower than that obtained with the currently used distance-based greedy heuristic.

In this paepr, we propose a dynamic multicast routin algorithm for constructing the delay-constrained minimal spanning tree in the VP-based ATM networks, in which we consider the effiiciency enen in the case wheree the destination dynamically joins/departs the multicast connection. For constructing the delay-constrained spanning tree, we frist generate a reduced network consisting of only VCX nodes from a given ATM network, originally consisting of VPX/VCX nodes. Then, we obtain the delay-constrained spanning tree with a minimal tree cost on the reduced network by using our proposed heuristic algorithm. Through numerical examples, we show that our dynamic multicast routing algorithm can provide an efficient usage of network resources when the membership nodes frequently changes during the lifetime of a multicast connection. We also demonstrate the more cost-saving can be expected in dense networks when applyingour proposed algorithm.

Given a set S of n points in the plane, a minimum-dilation spanning tree of S is a tree with vertex set S of smallest possible dilation. We show that given a set S of n points and a dilation $\delta$ > 1, it is NP-hard to determine whether a spanning tree of S with dilation at most $\delta$ exists.

Odd network was introduced as one model of graph theory. In [1], it was introduced as a class of fault-tolerant multiprocessor networks and analyzed so many useful properties such as simple routing algorithms, maximal fault tolerance, node axsjoint path, etc. In this paper, we sauw a construction algorithm of edge-axsjoint spanning trees in Odd network $O_d$. Also, we prove that edge-disjoint spanning tree generated by our algorithm is optimal edge-disjoint spanning tree.
