Popis: Broadcasting is an information dissemination process in which a message is to be sent from a single originator to all members of a network by placing calls over the communication lines of the network. We study here a variant of broadcasting called k-broadcast, where a processor can call several of its neighbours in one time unit. A k-broadcast graph is an n-vertex communication network that supports a broadcast from any one vertex to all other vertices in optimal time ⌈logk + 1 n⌉. A minimum k-broadcast graph is a k-broadcast graph having the minimum number of edges. In this paper, after giving simple results generalizing previously known results on 1-broadcasting, we find minimum k-broadcast graphs for k + 3 ⩽ n ⩽ 2k + 3.
