Abstract

Abstract: The concept of strong fault-tolerance was introduced to characterize the property of parallel routing [15]. A network G of degree d is said strongly fault-tolerant if with at most d - 2 faulty nodes, any two nodes u and v in G are connected by minfdegf (u); degf (v)g node-disjoint paths, where degf (u) and degf (v) are the numbers of non-faulty neighbors of the nodes u and v in G, respectively. We show that the hypercube networks are strongly fault-tolerant and develop an algorithm that constructs the maximum number of node-disjoint paths in a hypercube network with faults. Our algorithm is optimal in terms of time and length of node-disjoint paths.
