Abstract

Spanning subgraphs is necessary for the communication in networks. Apart from theoretical existence results, effective technique of searching graph factors is an important problem in graph theory, complex networks, and applications which is NP hard. In this paper, we first propose a lattice based evolution technique. Then we present an evolutionary searching paradigm for the minimum fractal graph factors. A simple Markov analysis of the proposed genetic algorithm is given together with some experiments on the effects of parameters to the performance of the algorithms.
