Star Structure Connectivity of Folded hypercubes and Augmented cubes

The connectivity is an important parameter to evaluate the robustness of a network. As a generalization, structure connectivity and substructure connectivity of graphs were proposed. For connected graphs $G$ and $H$, the $H$-structure connectivity $\kappa(G; H)$ (resp. $H$-substructure connectivity $\kappa^{s}(G; H)$) of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set of subgraphs $F$ of $G$ that each is isomorphic to $H$ (resp. to a connected subgraph of $H$) so that $G-F$ is disconnected or the singleton. As popular variants of hypercubes, the $n$-dimensional folded hypercubes $FQ_{n}$ and augmented cubes $AQ_{n}$ are attractive interconnected network prototypes for multiple processor systems. In this paper, we obtain that $\kappa(FQ_{n};K_{1,m})=\kappa^{s}(FQ_{n};K_{1,m})=\lceil\frac{n+1}{2}\rceil$ for $2\leqslant m\leqslant n-1$, $n\geqslant 7$, and $\kappa(AQ_{n};K_{1,m})=\kappa^{s}(AQ_{n};K_{1,m})=\lceil\frac{n-1}{2}\rceil$ for $4\leqslant m\leqslant \frac{3n-15}{4}$

The star-structure connectivity and star-substructure connectivity of hypercubes and folded hypercubes

As a generalization of vertex connectivity, for connected graphs $G$ and $T$, the $T$-structure connectivity $\kappa(G, T)$ (resp. $T$-substructure connectivity $\kappa^{s}(G, T)$) of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set of subgraphs $F$ of $G$ that each is isomorphic to $T$ (resp. to a connected subgraph of $T$) so that $G-F$ is disconnected. For $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_{n}$, Lin et al. [6] showed $\kappa(Q_{n},K_{1,1})=\kappa^{s}(Q_{n},K_{1,1})=n-1$ and $\kappa(Q_{n},K_{1,r})=\kappa^{s}(Q_{n},K_{1,r})=\lceil\frac{n}{2}\rceil$ for $2\leq r\leq 3$ and $n\geq 3$. Sabir et al. [11] obtained that $\kappa(Q_{n},K_{1,4})=\kappa^{s}(Q_{n},K_{1,4})=\lceil\frac{n}{2}\rceil$ for $n\geq 6$, and for $n$-dimensional folded hypercube $FQ_{n}$, $\kappa(FQ_{n},K_{1,1})=\kappa^{s}(FQ_{n},K_{1,1})=n$, $\kappa(FQ_{n},K_{1,r})=\kappa^{s}(FQ_{n},K_{1,r})=\lceil\frac{n+1}{2}\rceil$ with $2\leq r\leq 3$ and $n\geq 7$. They proposed an open problem of determining $K_{1,r}$-structure connectivity of $Q_n$ and $FQ_n$ for general $r$. In this paper, we obtain that for each integer $r\geq 2$, $\kappa(Q_{n};K_{1,r})=\kappa^{s}(Q_{n};K_{1,r})=\lceil\frac{n}{2}\rceil$ and $\kappa(FQ_{n};K_{1,r})=\kappa^{s}(FQ_{n};K_{1,r})= \lceil\frac{n+1}{2}\rceil$ for all integers $n$ larger than $r$ in quare scale. For $4\leq r\leq 6$, we separately confirm the above result holds for $Q_n$ in the remaining cases

The structure connectivity of Data Center Networks

Last decade, numerous giant data center networks are built to provide increasingly fashionable web applications. For two integers $m\geq 0$ and $n\geq 2$, the $m$-dimensional DCell network with $n$-port switches $D_{m,n}$ and $n$-dimensional BCDC network $B_{n}$ have been proposed. Connectivity is a basic parameter to measure fault-tolerance of networks. As generalizations of connectivity, structure (substructure) connectivity was recently proposed. Let $G$ and $H$ be two connected graphs. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a set whose elements are subgraphs of $G$, and every member of $\mathcal{F}$ is isomorphic to $H$ (resp. a connected subgraph of $H$). Then $H$-structure connectivity $\kappa(G; H)$ (resp. $H$-substructure connectivity $\kappa^{s}(G; H)$) of $G$ is the size of a smallest set of $\mathcal{F}$ such that the rest of $G$ is disconnected or the singleton when removing $\mathcal{F}$. Then it is meaningful to calculate the structure connectivity of data center networks on some common structures, such as star $K_{1,t}$, path $P_k$, cycle $C_k$, complete graph $K_s$ and so on. In this paper, we obtain that $\kappa (D_{m,n}; K_{1,t})=\kappa^s (D_{m,n}; K_{1,t})=\lceil \frac{n-1}{1+t}\rceil+m$ for $1\leq t\leq m+n-2$ and $\kappa (D_{m,n}; K_s)= \lceil\frac{n-1}{s}\rceil+m$ for $3\leq s\leq n-1$ by analyzing the structural properties of $D_{m,n}$. We also compute $\kappa(B_n; H)$ and $\kappa^s(B_n; H)$ for $H\in \{K_{1,t}, P_{k}, C_{k}|1\leq t\leq 2n-3, 6\leq k\leq 2n-1 \}$ and $n\geq 5$ by using $g$-extra connectivity of $B_n$

Computational methods and software systems for dynamics and control of large space structures

Two key areas of crucial importance to the computer-based simulation of large space structures are discussed. The first area involves multibody dynamics (MBD) of flexible space structures, with applications directed to deployment, construction, and maneuvering. The second area deals with advanced software systems, with emphasis on parallel processing. The latest research thrust in the second area involves massively parallel computers

A Local Diagnosis Algorithm for Hypercube-like Networks under the BGM Diagnosis Model

System diagnosis is process of identifying faulty nodes in a system. An efficient diagnosis is crucial for a multiprocessor system. The BGM diagnosis model is a modification of the PMC diagnosis model, which is a test-based diagnosis. In this paper, we present a specific structure and propose an algorithm for diagnosing a node in a system under the BGM model. We also give a polynomial-time algorithm that a node in a hypercube-like network can be diagnosed correctly in three test rounds under the BGM diagnosis model
