A distributed approximation algorithm for the minimum degree minimum weight spanning trees
Résumé
Fischer has shown how to compute a minimum weight spanning tree of degree at most $b \Delta^* + \lceil \log_b n\rceil$ in time $O(n^{4 + 1/\!\ln b})$ for any constant $b > 1$, where $\Delta^*$ is the value of an optimal solution and $n$ is the number of nodes in the network. In this paper, we propose a distributed version of Fischer's algorithm that requires messages and time complexity $O(n^{2 + 1/\!\ln b})$, and $O(n)$ space per node.
