Abstract

In a graph G, k vertex disjoint paths joining k distinct source-sink pairs that cover all the vertices in the graph are called a many-to-many k-disjoint path cover(k-DPC) of G We consider an f-fault k-DPC problem that is concerned with finding many-to-many k-DPC in the presence of f or less faulty vertices and/or edges We consider the graph obtained by merging two graphs H0 and H1, |V(H0)| = |V(H1)| = n, with n pairwise nonadjacent edges joining vertices in H0 and vertices in H1 We present sufficient conditions for such a graph to have an f-fault k-DPC and give the construction schemes Applying our main result to interconnection graphs, we observe that when there are f or less faulty elements, all of recursive circulant G(2m,4), twisted cube TQm, and crossed cube CQm of degree m have f-fault k-DPC for any k ≥ 1 and f ≥ 0 such that f + 2k ≤ m–1.
