Abstract
Broadcasting is the task of transmitting a message from any node to all the other nodes in a network. A minimal broadcast network (mbn) with n nodes is a communication network in which a message originated at any node can be broadcast in [log2 n] time units. An optimal broadcast network (obn) is an mbn with minimum number of edges. No method is known for constructing an obn with an arbitrary number of nodes. This article presents extensions and some issues for the implementation of a recently developed method to construct mbn's called the doubling procedure. New computational results are also reported.
