Sensor network deployment is the key for sensors to play an important performance. Based on game theory, first, the authors propose a multi-type sensor target allocation method for the autonomous deployment of sensors...
This paper presents an algorithm that tests whether a given degree-bounded digraph is k-edge-connected or E-far from k-edge-connectivity. This is the first testing algorithm for k-edge- connectivity of digraphs whose ...

Multi-agent systems arise from diverse fields in natural and artificial systems, and a basic problem is to understand how locally interacting agents lead to collective behaviors (e.g., synchronization) of the overal...

We propose a new family of interconnection networks (WGn^m) with regular degree three. When the generator set is chosen properly, they are isomorphic to Cayley graphs on the wreath product Zm ~ Sn. In the case of m...

A. Kaneko and K. Ota proved that for a minimally (n, λ)-connected graph G, if |G| = p ≥ 3n - 1, then e(G) ≤ nλ(|G| - n); and if e(G) = nλ(|G| - n), then G is isomorphic to the graph Kn^λ,p-n whic...

The maximum matching graph of a graph has a vertex for each maximummatching and an edge for each pair of maximum matchings which differ by exactly oneedge. In this paper, we prove that the connectivity of maximum matc...

Hajos' conjecture asserts that a simple eulerian graph on n vertices can be decomposed into at most n-1/2 circuits. In this paper, we propose a new conjecture which is equivalent to Hajos' conjecture, and show that to...
