Abstract

Broadcasting is a fundamental information dissemination problem in a connected graph, in which one vertex called the originator disseminates one or more messages to all other vertices in the graph. \(A\)-broadcasting is a variant of broadcasting in which an informed vertex can disseminate a message to at most \(k\) uninformed vertices in one unit of time. In general, solving the broadcast problem in an arbitrary graph is NP-complete. In this paper, we obtain the \(k\)-broadcast time of the Sierpiński gasket graphs for all \(k \geq 1\).
