A Rough Penalty Genetic Algorithm for Multicast Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Chih-Hao Lin, Chia-Chun Chuang

“…We formulate the problem as a constrained optimization problem, where the objective function is to minimize the total cost of the multicast tree subject to QoS constraints. The RPGA is evaluated on three multicast scenarios and compared with two state-of-the-art methods in terms of cost, success rate, and time complexity. …”
