Abstract

Several approximation algorithms with polylogarithmic ration, including one with logarithmic ration, for the undirected variants of the telephone multicast problems are known. However, all these algorithms involve solving large linear programs. Thus, a combinatorial logarithmic approximation algorithm for these problems, that applies also for the directed broadcast problem is devised.
