Abstract

This paper condisers a problem of determining arc capacities for a communication network with fixed-charged linear arc-cost functions, which is known to be NP-hard. For the problem, an efficient heuristic solution procedure is derived. The procedure is further shown working well for designing arc capacities of a network in a situation where the network needs to be extended by connecting its nodes to some new nodes or where the network needs to be extended by expanding its arc capacities.
