TLDR
The cable-communications systems, m -center, and minimum spanning-tree problems are contained within a general graph optimization-synthesis problem where the total number of vertices is estimated from the length of the spanning tree.
Abstract
The cable-communications systems, m -center, and minimum spanning-tree problems are contained within a general graph optimization-synthesis problem. In the minimum spanningtree problem, a decomposition technique is used in constructing minimal-length trees. This problem is related to the m -center problem where the total number of vertices is estimated from the length of the spanning tree. Both results, vertex estimate and decomposition, are utilized in the cable-communications systems problem. A procedure and example are provided for estimating the dollar cost of a cable-communications system.

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to develop an analytic foundation for the determination of whether a mathematical model and its desired computations are "well-posed" in order to help alleviate the software problems associated with the simulation of complex large-scale systems by heterogeneous mathematical models involving several hundred dimensions.
