The dual cubes were introduced as a better interconnection network than the hypercubes for large scale distributed memory multiprocessors. In this paper we introduce a generalization of these networks, called dual-cube-like networks, which preserve the basic structure of dual cubes and retain many of its topological properties. We investigate structural properties of these networks beyond simple measures such as connectivity. We prove that if up to kn - k(k+1)/2 vertices are deleted from a dual-cube-like n-regular network, then the resulting graph will either be connected or will have a large component and small components having at most k - 1 vertices in total, and this result is sharp for k <= n. As an application, we derive additional results such as the cyclic vertex-connectivity and the restricted vertex-connectivity of these networks. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Component Fault Diagnosis and Fault Tolerance of Alternating Group Graphs

Yanze Huang, Limei Lin, Eddie Cheng, Li Xu

Summary: This paper focuses on the reliability of a multiprocessor system, with an emphasis on the component diagnosability and component connectivity of a graph. The paper proposes the r-component diagnosability of the n-dimensional alternating group graph AG(n) under the PMC model, and presents a good construction for the general r-component connectivity of AG(n) where 6 <= r <= n - 1. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the general r-component connectivity of AG(n) is higher than that of Q(n), D-n, and FQ(n).

A Lower Bound for the 3-Pendant Tree-Connectivity of Lexicographic Product Graphs

Yaping Mao, Christopher Melekian, Eddie Cheng

Summary: In a connected graph G=(V, E), an S-Steiner tree is a subgraph T=(V', E') that is a tree with a vertex subset S of V(G). If each vertex of S in T has a degree of 1, it is called a pendant S-Steiner tree. Two S-Steiner trees are internally disjoint if they do not share any vertices other than S and have no common edges. The pendant tree-connectivity tau(G)(S) is the maximum number of internally disjoint pendant S-Steiner trees in G for S subset of V(G) with |S|>=2, and the k-pendant tree-connectivity tau(k)(G) is the minimum value of tau(G)(S) among all sets S with k vertices. We provide a lower bound for tau(3)(G o H), where G and H are connected graphs and o denotes the lexicographic product.

Computational complexity of jumping block puzzles

Masaaki Kanzaki, Yota Otachi, Giovanni Viglietta, Ryuhei Uehara

Summary: Sliding block puzzles play a crucial role in computational complexity, with their complexity varying depending on the rules and set of pieces. In this study, we explore the computational complexities of jumping block puzzles, a newer concept in the puzzle community. We analyze different variants of these puzzles based on real puzzles and a natural model, and determine their complexities. Our findings show that these puzzles are generally PSPACE-complete, with additional cases being NP-complete or solvable in polynomial-time.

Gradient complexity and non-stationary views of differentially private empirical risk minimization

Di Wang, Jinhui Xu

Summary: This paper studies the problem of Differentially Private Empirical Risk Minimization (DP-ERM) with both convex and non-convex loss functions. Several new methods are proposed for DP-ERM with smooth convex loss functions, achieving near-optimal expected excess risks while reducing gradient complexity. For DP-ERM with non-convex loss functions, both low and high dimensional spaces are explored, and utility measurements are introduced using different norms and error bounds. The paper reveals that certain non-convex loss functions can be reduced to a level similar to convex loss functions.

Weights of formal languages based on geometric series with an application to automatic grading

Florian Bruse, Maurice Herwig, Martin Lange

Summary: This paper presents a weight measure for formal languages based on the summands of a geometric series discounted by the fraction of words of certain length in the language. It shows that this weight measure is computable for regular languages. As an application, a distance metric between languages is derived as the weight of their symmetric difference, which can be used in automatic grading of standard exercises in formal language theory classes.

Elisabeth Remy, Paul Ruet

Summary: This paper studies the extension of the nested canalization property to multivalued functions and investigates the effect of the Van Ham mapping on this property. The study finds that the Van Ham mapping transforms softly nested canalizing multivalued functions into nested canalization Boolean functions, a property that is also relevant in the modeling of gene regulatory networks.
