Abstract

We present a new algorithm, which solves the problem of distributively finding a minimum diameter spanning tree of any (non-negatively) real-weighted graph G=(V,E,ω)G = (V,E,\omega). As an intermediate step, we use a new, fast, linear-time all-pairs shortest paths distributed algorithm to find an absolute center of GG. The resulting distributed algorithm is asynchronous, it works for named asynchronous arbitrary networks and achieves O(V)\mathcal{O}(|V|) time complexity and O(VE)\mathcal{O}\left(|V|\,|E|\right)
