“…Due to its small diameter and sublogarithmic degree, the star graph outperforms the hypercube in many respects [8]. Other properties of the star graph have been investigated including embedding [15,17,24,27,31], broadcasting [4,12,14], parallel path characterization [8,16], fault tolerance [18,23,28], load balancing [25], routing [11,19], unidirectional variants [9], and data exchange algorithms [7]. The solution of some problems on the star graph such as computing Fourier transforms [10] and sorting [22,26] have also been studied.…”
