Disjoint Paths in Metacube
A new interconnection network with low-degree for very large parallel computers called metacube (MC) has been introduced recently. The MC network has short diameter similar to that of the hypercube. However, the degree of an MC network is much lower than that of a hypercube of the same size. More than one hundred of millions of nodes can be connected by an MC network with up to 6 links per node...
متن کاملDisjoint paths in arborescences
An arborescence in a digraph is a tree directed away from its root. A classical theorem of Edmonds characterizes which digraphs have λ arc-disjoint arborescences rooted at r. A similar theorem of Menger guarantees λ strongly arc disjoint rv-paths for every vertex v, where “strongly” means no two paths contain a pair of symmetric arcs. We prove that if a directed graph D contains two arc-disjoin...
متن کاملDisjoint Paths in Networks
Networks are prevalent in our daily lives. Our body consists of networks of neurons interconnected by synapses. Our transportation networks enable us to commute between places easily. The Internet, our vast gateway of information, is made up of networks of worldwide computers. The power grid networks provide electricity, without which society (nowadays) might cease to function. Our social netwo...
متن کاملDisjoint paths in tournaments
Given k pairs of vertices (si, ti) (1 ≤ i ≤ k) of a digraph G, how can we test whether there exist k vertex-disjoint directed paths from si to ti for 1 ≤ i ≤ k? This is NP-complete in general digraphs, even for k = 2 [2], but for k = 2 there is a polynomial-time algorithm when G is a tournament (or more generally, a semicomplete digraph), due to Bang-Jensen and Thomassen [1]. Here we prove that...
متن کاملThe i-chords of cycles and paths
An i-chord of a cycle or path is an edge whose endpoints are a distance i ≥ 2 apart along the cycle or path. Motivated by many standard graph classes being describable by the existence of chords, we investigate what happens when i-chords are required for specific values of i. Results include the following: A graph is strongly chordal if and only if, for i ∈ {4, 6}, every cycle C with |V (C)| ≥ ...
