Recognizing Cartesian graph bundles
AbstractGraph bundles generalize the notion of covering graphs and graph products. In this paper we extend some of the methods for recognizing Cartesian product graphs to graph bundles. Two main notions are used. The first one is the well-known equivalence relation δ★ defined on the edge-set of a graph. The second one is the concept of k-convex subgraphs. A subgraph H is k-convex in G, if for any two vertices x and y of distance d, d ⩽ k, each shortest path from x to y in G is contained entirely in H. The main result is an algorithm that finds a representation as a nontrivial Cartesian graph bundle for all graphs that are Cartesian graph bundles over a triangle-free simple base. The problem of recognizing graph bundles over a base containing triangles remains open
Cartesian product of hypergraphs: properties and algorithms
Cartesian products of graphs have been studied extensively since the 1960s.
They make it possible to decrease the algorithmic complexity of problems by
using the factorization of the product. Hypergraphs were introduced as a
generalization of graphs and the definition of Cartesian products extends
naturally to them. In this paper, we give new properties and algorithms
concerning coloring aspects of Cartesian products of hypergraphs. We also
extend a classical prime factorization algorithm initially designed for graphs
to connected conformal hypergraphs using 2-sections of hypergraphs
Fast Recognition of Partial Star Products and Quasi Cartesian Products
This paper is concerned with the fast computation of a relation on the
edge set of connected graphs that plays a decisive role in the recognition of
approximate Cartesian products, the weak reconstruction of Cartesian products,
and the recognition of Cartesian graph bundles with a triangle free basis.
A special case of is the relation , whose convex closure
yields the product relation that induces the prime factor
decomposition of connected graphs with respect to the Cartesian product. For
the construction of so-called Partial Star Products are of particular
interest. Several special data structures are used that allow to compute
Partial Star Products in constant time. These computations are tuned to the
recognition of approximate graph products, but also lead to a linear time
algorithm for the computation of for graphs with maximum bounded
degree.
Furthermore, we define \emph{quasi Cartesian products} as graphs with
non-trivial . We provide several examples, and show that quasi
Cartesian products can be recognized in linear time for graphs with bounded
maximum degree. Finally, we note that quasi products can be recognized in
sublinear time with a parallelized algorithm
Square Property, Equitable Partitions, and Product-like Graphs
Equivalence relations on the edge set of a graph that satisfy restrictive
conditions on chordless squares play a crucial role in the theory of Cartesian
graph products and graph bundles. We show here that such relations in a natural
way induce equitable partitions on the vertex set of , which in turn give
rise to quotient graphs that can have a rich product structure even if
itself is prime.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figure
ON VULNERABILITY MEASURES OF NETWORKS
As links and nodes of interconnection networks are exposed to failures, one of the most important features of a practical networks design is fault tolerance. Vulnerability measures of communication
networks are discussed including the connectivities, fault diameters, and measures based on Hosoya-Wiener polynomial. An upper bound for the edge fault diameter of product graphs is proved

Fast recognition of partial star products and quasi cartesian products
This paper is concerned with the fast computation of a relation d on the edge set of
connected graphs that plays a decisive role in the recognition of approximate Cartesian
products, the weak reconstruction of Cartesian products, and the recognition of Cartesian
graph bundles with a triangle free basis.
A special case of d is the relation , whose convex closure yields the product relation
that induces the prime factor decomposition of connected graphs with respect to the
Cartesian product. For the construction of d so-called Partial Star Products are of particular
interest. Several special data structures are used that allow to compute Partial Star Products
in constant time. These computations are tuned to the recognition of approximate graph
products, but also lead to a linear time algorithm for the computation of for graphs with
maximum bounded degree.
Furthermore, we define quasi Cartesian products as graphs with non-trivial . We
provide several examples, and show that quasi Cartesian products can be recognized in
linear time for graphs with bounded maximum degree. Finally, we note that quasi products
can be recognized in sublinear time with a parallelized algorithm.Web of Science115212411
