Edge-Fault Tolerance of Hypercube-like Networks
This paper considers a kind of generalized measure of fault
tolerance in a hypercube-like graph which contain several well-known
interconnection networks such as hypercubes, varietal hypercubes, twisted
cubes, crossed cubes and M\"obius cubes, and proves for any with by the induction on
and a new technique. This result shows that at least edges of
have to be removed to get a disconnected graph that contains no vertices of
degree less than . Compared with previous results, this result enhances
fault-tolerant ability of the above-mentioned networks theoretically
Matching Preclusion and Conditional Matching Preclusion Problems for Twisted Cubes
The matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum
number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither
perfect matchings nor almost-perfect matchings. For many interconnection
networks, the optimal sets are precisely those induced by a
single vertex. Recently, the conditional matching preclusion number
of a graph was introduced to look for obstruction sets beyond those
induced by a single vertex. It is defined to be the minimum number
of edges whose deletion results in a graph with no isolated vertices
that has neither perfect matchings nor almost-perfect matchings. In
this paper, we find the matching preclusion number and the conditional matching preclusion number for twisted cubes, an improved
version of the well-known hypercube. Moreover, we also classify all
the optimal matching preclusion sets
Constructing Two Edge-Disjoint Hamiltonian Cycles in Locally Twisted Cubes
The -dimensional hypercube network is one of the most popular
interconnection networks since it has simple structure and is easy to
implement. The -dimensional locally twisted cube, denoted by , an
important variation of the hypercube, has the same number of nodes and the same
number of connections per node as . One advantage of is that the
diameter is only about half of the diameter of . Recently, some
interesting properties of were investigated. In this paper, we
construct two edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in the locally twisted cube
, for any integer . 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
