Fault-Tolerant Shared-Relay Communication in Circulant Interconnection Networks (opens in new tab)

Circulant interconnection networks provide symmetric addressing, compact generator descriptions, and uniform local connectivity. This paper maps a degree--redundancy landscape for a fault-tolerant two-hop primitive in directed circulants: given $n$ nodes and degree budget $m$, how large can the worst-case shared-relay multiplicity $R(n,m)$ be? A node is a shared relay for an ordered terminal pair if it has outgoing links to both terminals; an $f...
