Abstract

The surface area which is defined as the number of vertices at a given distance from a base vertex of a graph is considered to be as one of the most useful yet abstract combinatorial properties of a graph. The applicability of surface area spans many problem spaces such as those in parallel and distributed computing. These problems normally involve combinatorial analysis of underlying graph structures (e.g., spanning tree construction, minimum broadcast algorithms, efficient VLSI layout, performance modeling). In this paper, we focus on the problem of finding the surface area of a class of popular graphs, namely the family of WK-recursive and swapped networks. These are attractive networks due to their useful recursive structures.
