Abstract

Pancake graphs have been proposed as an attractive alternative to hypercube networks. They have a smaller diameter and a lower degree. They also have a hierarchical structure which can be exploited in designing algorithms. In this paper, we propose a leader election algorithm for oriented pancake graphs. The algorithm has a message complexity that is linear in the order of the graph.
