Abstract

We consider a problem of cost-constrained minimum-delay multicasting in a network, which is to find a Steiner tree spanning the source and destination nodes such that the maximum total delay along a path from the source node to a destination node is minimized, while the sum of link costs in the tree is bounded by a constant. The problem is $\mathcal{NP}$-hard even if the network is series-parallel. We present a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for the problem if the network is series-parallel.
