Based on the Preparata, Metze, and Chien(PMC)model, the n-dimensional hypercube network is proved to be t/kdiagnosable. In this paper, based on the Maeng and Malek(MM)*model, a novel t/k-fault diagnosis(1≤k≤4) algorithm of ndimensional hypercube, called t/k-MM*-DIAG, is proposed to isolate all faulty processors within the set of nodes, among which the number of fault-free nodes identified wrongly as faulty is at most k. The time complexity in our algorithm is only O(2~n n~2).展开更多

One-step diagnosis of exchanged hypercubes which involves only one testing phase during which processors test each other is discussed. The diagnosabilities of exchanged hypercubes are studied by using the pessimistic one-step diagno- sis strategy under two kinds of diagnosis models: the PMC model and the MM model. The main results presented here are the two proofs that the degree of diagnosability of the EH(s, t) under pessimistic one-step tl/tl fault diagnosis strategy is 2s where I ≤ s ≤ t (respectively, 2t, where 1 ≤ t ≤ s) based on the PMC model and that it is also 2s where 1 ≤ s ≤ t (respectively, 2t, where 1 ≤ t ≤ s) based on the MM* model.展开更多

Compared with traditional methods, multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a more promising approach. For this reason, Collaborative Optimization (CO) is discussed and analyzed in this paper. As one of the most frequently applied MDO methods, CO promotes autonomy of disciplines while providing a coordinating mechanism guaranteeing progress toward an optimum and maintaining interdisciplinary compatibility. However, there are some difficulties in applying the conventional CO method, such as difficulties in choosing an initial point and tremendous computational requirements. For the purpose of overcoming these problems, optimal Latin hypercube design and Radial basis function network were applied to CO. Optimal Latin hypercube design is a modified Latin Hypercube design. Radial basis function network approximates the optimization model, and is updated during the optimization process to improve accuracy. It is shown by examples that the computing efficiency and robustness of this CO method are higher than with the conventional CO method.展开更多

A routing in a network assigns to each ordered pair of nodes a fixed path. All communication among nodes must go on this routing. When either a node or a link in a fault tolerant network fails, the communication from one node to another using this faulty element must be sent via one or more intermediate nodes along a sequence of paths determined by this routing. An important and practical problem is how to choose a routing in the network such that intermediate nodes to ensure communication are small for any fault set. Let C d be a directed cycle of order d . In this paper. The author first discusses connectivity of Cartesian product digraphs, then proves that the Cartesian product digraph C d 1 ×C d 2 ×...×C d n (d i≥2,1≤i≤n) has a routing such that at most one intermediate node is needed to ensure transmission of messages among all non faulty nodes so long as the number of faults is less than n . This is a generalization of Dolev et al's result for the n dimensional cube.展开更多
