It is an important problem in operation research and finds application in communication network design where degree of a node is indicator of input-output ports available on that terminal. As it is NP-complete problem so in this paper we design an approximate algorithm which works in three stages and determines a spanning tree satisfying degree constraint and also guarantees to give nearly optimal tree with respect to cost.Read More
