  • Abstract
    The degree-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is of high practical importance. Up to now there have been few effective algorithms to solve this problem because of its NP-hard complexity. In this paper we present an approach to solving this problem by using genetic algorithms (GAs), and provide numerical example to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach
