本文证明了，在最小度至少为3的前提下超弧连通有向图的迭代线图是超点连通的．作为推论，我们得到了Kautz网络和de Bruijn网络的超点连通性和超弧连通性．     

广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图的距离控制数

对于任意的正整数(?),强连通图G的顶点子集D被称为距离(?)-控制集,是指对于任意顶点v(?)D,D中至少含有一个顶点u,使得距离dG(u,v)≤(?)．图G距离(?)- 控制数γe(G)是指G中所有距离(?)-控制集的基数的最小者．本文给出了广义de Bruijn 和广义Kautz有向图的距离(?)-控制数的上界和下界,并且给出当它们的距离2-控制数达到下界时的一个充分条件．从而得到对于de Bruijn有向图B(d,k)的距离2-控制数γ2(B(d,k))= ．在该文结尾,我们猜想Kautz有向图K(d,k)的距离2-控制数γ2(K(d,k))= .     

Independent spanning trees with small depths in iterated line digraphs

We show that the independent spanning tree conjecture on digraphs is true if we restrict ourselves to line digraphs. Also, we construct independent spanning trees with small depths in iterated line digraphs. From the results, we can obtain independent spanning trees with small depths in de Bruijn and Kautz digraphs that improve the previously known upper bounds on the depths.     

广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图的双向控制集

设G=(V,A)是一个有向图,其中V和A分别表示有向图G的点集和弧集.对集合TV(G),如果对于任意点v∈V(G)\T,都存在点u,w∈T(u,w可能是同一点)使得(u,v),(v,w)∈A(G),则称T是G的一个双向控制集.有向图G的双向控制数γ~*(G)是G的最小双向控制集所含点的数目.提出了广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图的双向控制数的新上界,改进了以前文献中提出的相关结论.此外,对某些特殊的广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图,通过构造其双向控制集,进一步改进了它们双向控制数的上、下界.     

On Moore bipartite digraphs

In the context of the degree/diameter problem for directed graphs, it is known that the number of vertices of a strongly connected bipartite digraph satisfies a Moore‐like bound in terms of its diameter k and the maximum out‐degrees (d₁, d₂) of its partite sets of vertices. It has been proved that, when d₁d₂ > 1, the digraphs attaining such a bound, called Moore bipartite digraphs, only exist when 2 ≤ k ≤ 4. This paper deals with the problem of their enumeration. In this context, using the theory of circulant matrices and the so‐called De Bruijn near‐factorizations of cyclic groups, we present some new constructions of Moore bipartite digraphs of diameter three and composite out‐degrees. By applying the iterated line digraph technique, such constructions also provide new families of dense bipartite digraphs with arbitrary diameter. Moreover, we show that the line digraph structure is inherent in any Moore bipartite digraph G of diameter k = 4, which means that G = L G′, where G′ is a Moore bipartite digraph of diameter k = 3. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Connected -tuple twin domination in de Bruijn and Kautz digraphs

For a digraph G, a k-tuple twin dominating set D of G for some fixed k≥1 is a set of vertices such that every vertex is adjacent to at least k vertices in D, and also every vertex is adjacent from at least k vertices in D. If the subgraph of G induced by D is strongly connected, then D is called a connected k-tuple twin dominating set of G. In this paper, we give constructions of minimal connected k-tuple twin dominating sets for de Bruijn digraphs and Kautz digraphs.     

Bisecting de Bruijn and Kautz graphs

De Bruijn and Kautz graphs have been intensively studied as perspective interconnection networks of massively parallel computers. One of the crucial parameters of an interconnection network is its bisection width. It has an influence on both communication properties of the network and the algorithmic design. We prove optimal bounds on the edge and vertex bisection widths of the k-ary n-dimensional de Bruijn digraph. This generalizes known results for k = 2 and improves the upper bound for the vertex bisection width. We extend the method to prove optimal upper and lower bounds on the edge and vertex bisection widths of Kautz graphs.

Reinforcement numbers of digraphs

The reinforcement number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a set of extra edges whose addition results in a graph with domination number less than the domination number of G. In this paper we consider this parameter for digraphs, investigate the relationship between reinforcement numbers of undirected graphs and digraphs, and obtain further results for regular graphs. We also determine the exact values of the reinforcement numbers of de Bruijn digraphs and Kautz digraphs.

Hamiltonicity of large generalized de Bruijn cycles

In this article, we determine when the large generalized de Bruijn cycles are Hamiltonian. These digraphs have been introduced by Gómez, Padró and Pérennes as large interconnection networks with small diameter and they are a family of generalized cycles. They are Kronecker products of generalized de Bruijn digraphs and dicycles.     

Stretching de Bruijn sequences

We give a one-step construction of de Bruijn sequences of general alphabet size and with order \(n+k\), given a de Bruijn sequence of order n and any integer \(k>1\). This is achieved by using an appropriate class of graph homomorphisms between de Bruijn digraphs whose orders differ by an integer k. The method starts with a lower order de Bruijn cycle, finds its inverse cycles in the higher order digraph, which are then cross-joined into one full cycle. Therefore, this generalizes the Lempel’s binary construction and the Alhakim–Akinwande construction for non-binary alphabets and a wide class of homomorphisms.     

Locally-finite connected-homogeneous digraphs

A digraph is connected-homogeneous if any isomorphism between finite connected induced subdigraphs extends to an automorphism of the digraph. We consider locally-finite connected-homogeneous digraphs with more than one end. In the case that the digraph embeds a triangle we give a complete classification, obtaining a family of tree-like graphs constructed by gluing together directed triangles. In the triangle-free case we show that these digraphs are highly arc-transitive. We give a classification in the two-ended case, showing that all examples arise from a simple construction given by gluing along a directed line copies of some fixed finite directed complete bipartite graph. When the digraph has infinitely many ends we show that the descendants of a vertex form a tree, and the reachability graph (which is one of the basic building blocks of the digraph) is one of: an even cycle, a complete bipartite graph, the complement of a perfect matching, or an infinite semiregular tree. We give examples showing that each of these possibilities is realised as the reachability graph of some connected-homogeneous digraph, and in the process we obtain a new family of highly arc-transitive digraphs without property Z.

De Bruijn digraphs and affine transformations

Let be the additive group of 1×n row vectors over . For an n×n matrix T over  and , the affine transformation F_T,ω of sends x to xT+ω. Let α be the cyclic group generated by a vector . The affine transformation coset pseudo-digraph has the set of cosets of α in as vertices and there are c arcs from x+α to y+α if and only if the number of zx+α such that F_T,ω(z)y+α is c. We prove that the following statements are equivalent: (a)  is isomorphic to the d-nary (n−1)-dimensional De Bruijn digraph; (b) α is a cyclic vector for T; (c)  is primitive. This strengthens a result conjectured by C.M. Fiduccia and E.M. Jacobson [Universal multistage networks via linear permutations, in: Proceedings of the 1991 ACM/IEEE Conference on Supercomputing, ACM Press, New York, 1991, pp. 380–389]. Under the further assumption that T is invertible we show that each component of is a conjunction of a cycle and a De Bruijn digraph, namely a generalized wrapped butterfly. Finally, we discuss the affine TCP digraph representations for a class of digraphs introduced by D. Coudert, A. Ferreira and S. Perennes [Isomorphisms of the De Bruijn digraph and free-space optical networks, Networks 40 (2002) 155–164].     

Reflexive digraphs with near unanimity polymorphisms

In this paper, we prove that if a finite reflexive digraph admits Gumm operations, then it also admits a near unanimity operation. This is a generalization of similar results obtained earlier for posets and symmetric reflexive digraphs by the second author and his collaborators. In the special case of reflexive digraphs, our new result confirms a conjecture of Valeriote that states that any finite relational structure of finite signature that admits Gumm operations also admits an edge operation. We also prove that every finite reflexive digraph that admits a near unanimity operation admits totally symmetric idempotent operations of all arities. Finally, the aforementioned results yield a polynomial-time algorithm to decide whether a finite reflexive digraph admits a near unanimity operation.     

Large fault-tolerant interconnection networks

This paper deals with reliability and fault-tolerant properties of networks. We first survey general reliability properties of networks, in particular those concerning diameter vulnerability. Then we study in details reliability properties of some families of networks in particular de Bruijn and Kautz networks and their generalizations which appear as very good fault-tolerant networks.     

On the weak distance-regularity of Moore-type digraphs

We prove that Moore digraphs, and some other classes of extremal digraphs, are weakly distance-regular in the sense that there is an invariance of the number of walks between vertices at a given distance. As weakly distance-regular digraphs, we then compute their complete spectrum from a ‘small’ intersection matrix. This is a very useful tool for deriving some results about their existence and/or their structural properties. For instance, we present here an alternative and unified proof of the existence results on Moore digraphs, Moore bipartite digraphs and, more generally, Moore generalized p-cycles. In addition, we show that the line digraph structure appears as a characteristic property of any Moore generalized p-cycle of diameter D?≥?2p.     

Locally semicomplete digraphs: A generalization of tournaments

In this paper we introduce a new class of directed graphs called locally semicomplete digraphs. These are defined to be those digraphs for which the following holds: for every vertex x the vertices dominated by x induce a semicomplete digraph and the vertices that dominate x induce a semicomplete digraph. (A digraph is semicomplete if for any two distinct vertices u and ν, there is at least one arc between them.) This class contains the class of semicomplete digraphs, but is much more general. In fact, the class of underlying graphs of the locally semi-complete digraphs is precisely the class of proper circular-arc graphs (see [13], Theorem 3). We show that many of the classic theorems for tournaments have natural analogues for locally semicomplete digraphs. For example, every locally semicomplete digraph has a directed Hamiltonian path and every strong locally semicomplete digraph has a Hamiltonian cycle. We also consider connectivity properties, domination orientability, and algorithmic aspects of locally semicomplete digraphs. Some of the results on connectivity are new, even when restricted to semicomplete digraphs.     

Minimum Eulerian circuits and minimum de Bruijn sequences

Given a digraph (directed graph) with a labeling on its arcs, we study the problem of finding the Eulerian circuit of lexicographically minimum label. We prove that this problem is NP-complete in general, but if the labelling is locally injective (arcs going out from each vertex have different labels), we prove that it is solvable in linear time by giving an algorithm that constructs this circuit. When this algorithm is applied to a de Bruijn graph, it obtains the de Bruijn sequences with lexicographically minimum label.
