Abstract

Given a graph G , the problem is to construct a smallest subset S of vertices whose deletion results in an acyclic subgraph. The set S is called a minimum feedback vertex set for G . Tight upper and lower bounds on the cardinality of minimum feedback vertex sets have been previously obtained for some hypercube-like networks, such as meshes, tori, butterflies, cube-connected cycles and hypercubes. In this paper we construct minimum feedback vertex sets and determine their cardinalities in certain shuffle-based interconnection networks, such as shuffle-exchange, de Bruijn and Kautz networks.
