TL;DR: It is shown that the strong Rabin number of a k-dimensional folded hypercube is ⌈k/2⌉ + 1, where ⌉k/1⌊ is the diameter of the k- dimensional folded hyper cube and each node-disjoint path has length not greater than the distance between the two end nodes plus two.

TL;DR: Computer simulation results show that by excluding two trivial worst cases in which the maximal length of constructed node-disjoint paths is not only greater than the maximal distance but also impossible to be further reduced, the probability that one of the two conditions holds is greater than 71, 73, 79%, and 85% for m=n=4,5,6, and 7, respectively.

TL;DR: This paper studies the diagnosability of a class of networks, called Two-Matching Composition Networks (2-MCNs), each of which is constructed by connecting two graphs via two perfect matchings, which belong to two-matching composition networks.
Abstract: Diagnosability is an important metric for measuring the reliability of multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we study the diagnosability of a class of networks, called Two-Matching Composition Networks (2-MCNs), each of which is constructed by connecting two graphs via two perfect matchings. By applying our result to multiprocessor systems, we also compute the diagnosability of folded hypercubes and augmented cubes, both of which belong to two-matching composition networks.

TL;DR: A particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm in fuzzy environment is used for the shortest path problem on a network where arc weights are represented by different kinds of fuzzy numbers due to its superior convergence speed.
Abstract: Shortest path problem is one of the most fundamental components in the fields of transportation and communication networks. This paper concentrates on a shortest path problem on a network where arc weights are represented by different kinds of fuzzy numbers. Recently, a genetic algorithm has been proposed for finding the shortest path in a network with mixed fuzzy arc weights due to the complexity of the addition of various fuzzy numbers for larger problems. In this paper, a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm in fuzzy environment is used for the same due to its superior convergence speed. The main contribution of this paper is the reduction of the time complexity of the existing genetic algorithm. Additionally, to compare the obtained results of the proposed PSO algorithm with those of the existing algorithm, two shortest path problems having mixed fuzzy arc weights are solved. The comparative examples illustrate that the algorithm proposed in this paper is more efficient than the existing algorithm in terms of time complexity.
