Summary:
An arborescence-net N is a directed connected communication network with arborescence structure. Some information to be distributed through N is supposed to have been written in a file and the written file is denoted by J, where the file means an abstract concept of information carrier. In this letter, we consider a problem of distributing copies of J through N from the root vertex to every vertex, where the cost of transmitting a copy of J through each arc, the cost of making a copy of J at each vertex and the number of copies of J needed at each vertex in N are defined. Definig a file transfer on N, we give a method for designing an optimal file transfer by which we mean a file transfer whose total cost of transmitting and making copies of J is minimum on N.
