Abstract

Let D be a directed graph; the (l,@w)-Independence Number of graph D, denoted by @a"l","@w(D), is an important performance parameter for interconnection networks. De Bruijn networks and Kautz networks, denoted by B(d,n) and K(d,n) respectively, are versatile and efficient topological structures of interconnection networks. For l=1,2,...,n, this paper shows that @a"l","d"-"1(B(d,n))=d^n,@a"l","d"-"1(K(d,n))=@a"l","d(K(d,n))=d^n+d^n^-^1 if d=3 and n@?d-2. In particular, the paper shows the exact value of the Independence Number for B(d,1) and B(d,2) for any d. For the generalized situation, the paper obtains a lower bound @a"l","d"-"1(B(d,n))=d^2 if n=3 and d=5.
