In this paper, we investigate a rooted delayconstrained minimum spanning tree (RDCMST) problem. RDCMST seeks to find a minimum spanning tree in which no path from a specified root node to any other nodes may exceed a given delay bound. RDCMST is a NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising both in scientific research and practical engineering. Competitive decision algorithm (CDA) is a newly proposed meta-heuristic algorithm for solving complex combinatorial optimization problems. A new

We reduce the search space based on the mathematical properties of RDCMST. To evaluate the algorithm, numerical computational experiments are performed.
