“…The diagnosis algorithms for hypercube have been developed under precise and pessimistic diagnosis strategies; Feng et al [8] devised a precise diagnosis algorithm on hypercube, which was improved by Kranakis and Pelc [12], and Yang [20] presented an efficient pessimistic diagnosis algorithm on hypercube. The diagnosabilities of hypercube under pessimistic and t/k diagnosis strategies were determined by Kavianpour and Kim [11] and Somani and Peleg [17], respectively; thereby we know that an n-D cube is n/0-diagnosable, (2n À 2)/1-diagnosable, (3n À 5)/2-diagnosable, (4n À 9)/3-diagnosable, etc. In the case k P 2, an efficient t/k diagnosis algorithm of hypercube remains yet to be developed.…”
