Abstract

Reliability and efficiency are important criteria in the design of interconnection networks. Recently, the w-wide diameter dw (G), the (w-1)-fault diameter Dw (G), and the w-Rabin number rw (G) have been used to measure network reliability and efficiency. In this paper, we study dw (G), Dw (G) and rw (G) using the strong w-Rabin number r*w (G) for 1 ≤ w ≤ k(G) and G is a circulant network G(dn; {1,d, . . . ,dn-1}), a d-ary cube network C (d, n), a generalized hypercube GH(mn-1, . . . , m0), a folded hypercube FH(n) or a WK-recursive network WK(d, t).
