English abstract:
The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree prob-
lem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. The problem
appears in practice for example when designing a distribution network
with a guarantee of timely delivery. Another example is be a centralized broadcasting network where the delaybound represents a quality of service constraint. We introduce a multilevel-based construction heuristic which uses a new measurement for the suitability of edges to create a solution for the problem. In comparison to existing heuristics the main intention is not to create a minimum cost spanning tree, but a solution with a high potential for further improvement. Experimental results indicate that in most cases our approach produces solutions that after local improvement are of higher quality than those of other existing construction techniques.
