Abstract:
Let G = (V, E) be a given graph, S ⊆ V be a terminal set, rΕ S be the selected root. Assume that c: E → + and d: E → + are cost and delay functions on the edges respectively. The shallow-light Steiner tree SLST) problem is to compute a minimum cost tree spanning all the terminals of S, such that the delay between r and every other terminal is bounded by a given delay constraint DΕ 0+. Since in real network, the cost and delay of a link are always related, this paper addresses two such special cases: the constrained Steiner tree (CST) problem, a special case of the SLST problem that c(e)=σ d(e) for every edge, and the constrained spanning tree (CPT) problem, a further special case of the CST problem when S = V. This paper first shows that even when c(e) = d(e), the CPT problem is NP-hard, and admits no (1+ Ε γ ln(|V|)-approximation algorithm for some fixed γ > 0 and any Ε © 2014 IEEE.
