A multipath analysis of biswapped networks.

Biswapped networks of the form $Bsw(G)$ have recently been proposed as interconnection networks to be implemented as optical transpose interconnection systems. We provide a systematic construction of $\kappa+1$ vertex-disjoint paths joining any two distinct vertices in $Bsw(G)$, where $\kappa\geq 1$ is the connectivity of $G$. In doing so, we obtain an upper bound of $\max\{2\Delta(G)+5,\Delta_\kappa(G)+\Delta(G)+2\}$ on the $(\kappa+1)$-diameter of $Bsw(G)$, where $\Delta(G)$ is the diameter of $G$ and $\Delta_\kappa(G)$ the $\kappa$-diameter. Suppose that we have a deterministic multipath source routing algorithm in an interconnection network $G$ that finds $\kappa$ mutually vertex-disjoint paths in $G$ joining any $2$ distinct vertices and does this in time polynomial in $\Delta_\kappa(G)$, $\Delta(G)$ and $\kappa$ (and independently of the number of vertices of $G$). Our constructions yield an analogous deterministic multipath source routing algorithm in the interconnection network $Bsw(G)$ that finds $\kappa+1$ mutually vertex-disjoint paths joining any $2$ distinct vertices in $Bsw(G)$ so that these paths all have length bounded as above. Moreover, our algorithm has time complexity polynomial in $\Delta_\kappa(G)$, $\Delta(G)$ and $\kappa$. We also show that if $G$ is Hamiltonian then $Bsw(G)$ is Hamiltonian, and that if $G$ is a Cayley graph then $Bsw(G)$ is a Cayley graph

Constructing Two Edge-Disjoint Hamiltonian Cycles in Locally Twisted Cubes

The $n$-dimensional hypercube network $Q_n$ is one of the most popular interconnection networks since it has simple structure and is easy to implement. The $n$-dimensional locally twisted cube, denoted by $LTQ_n$, an important variation of the hypercube, has the same number of nodes and the same number of connections per node as $Q_n$. One advantage of $LTQ_n$ is that the diameter is only about half of the diameter of $Q_n$. Recently, some interesting properties of $LTQ_n$ were investigated. In this paper, we construct two edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in the locally twisted cube $LTQ_n$, for any integer $n\geqslant 4$. The presence of two edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles provides an advantage when implementing algorithms that require a ring structure by allowing message traffic to be spread evenly across the locally twisted cube.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Properties and Algorithms of the KCube Interconnection Networks

The KCube interconnection network was first introduced in 2010 in order to exploit the good characteristics of two well-known interconnection networks, the hypercube and the Kautz graph. KCube links up multiple processors in a communication network with high density for a fixed degree. Since the KCube network is newly proposed, much study is required to demonstrate its potential properties and algorithms that can be designed to solve parallel computation problems. In this thesis we introduce a new methodology to construct the KCube graph. Also, with regard to this new approach, we will prove its Hamiltonicity in the general KC(m; k). Moreover, we will find its connectivity followed by an optimal broadcasting scheme in which a source node containing a message is to communicate it with all other processors. In addition to KCube networks, we have studied a version of the routing problem in the traditional hypercube, investigating this problem: whether there exists a shortest path in a Qn between two nodes 0n and 1n, when the network is experiencing failed components. We first conditionally discuss this problem when there is a constraint on the number of faulty nodes, and subsequently introduce an algorithm to tackle the problem without restrictions on the number of nodes

Fault-tolerant Designs in Lattice Networks on the Klein Bottle

In this note, we consider triangular, square and hexagonal lattices on the flat Klein bottle, and find subgraphs with the property that for any $j$ vertices there exists a longest path (cycle) avoiding all of them. This completes work previously done in other lattices
