Abstract

We prove that the bisection width, bw(Ad), of a d-dimensional array Ad = Pk1 × Pk2 × ... × Pkd where k1≤k2≤ ...≤kd, is given by bw(Ad) = Σdi=e Ki where e is the largest index for which ke is even (if it exists, e = 1 otherwise) and Ki = ki-1ki-2 ... k1. We also show that the edge-isoperimetric number i(Ad) is given by i(Ad) = 1/[kd/2]. Furthermore, a bisection and an isoperimetric set are constructed.
