Star Networks have been recently proposed as an attractive choice for interconnection networks. They have sublogarithmic node degree and diameter and, like hypercubes, have a highly recursive structuw. Several researchers have endeavored t o prove that star networks are as versatile as hypercubes. This paper is an efforl in the same direction. We present optimal algorithms for computing disjoint paths in star graphs for two well known paradigms. We also study the problem of disjoint connecting paths and present an eficient algorithm for finding a limited number of such paths in the siar network. Similar algorithms are already known for hypercubes and have proved useful in designing eficient and fault tolerant rouiing algorithms on hypercube networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
