#New approach to vertex connectivity could maximize networks bandwidthtechnique advances understanding of a basic concept in graph theory paralleling advances in edge connectivity.
Computer scientists are constantly searching for ways to squeeze ever more bandwidth from communications networks. Now a new approach to understanding a basic concept in graph theory known as vertex connectivity could ultimately lead to communications protocols--the rules that govern how digital messages are exchanged--that coax as much bandwidth as possible from networks.
Graph theory plays a central role in mathematics and computer science and is used to describe the relationship between different objects.
A communications network for example can be represented as a graph with each node in the network being one vertex
In this way both concepts show how robust a network is against failure and how much flow can pass through it
--whether the flow of information in a communications network traffic flow in a transportation system or fluid flow in hydraulics. Reducing edge connectivity's edgehowever while a great deal of research has been carried out in mathematics to solve problems associated with edge connectivity there has been relatively little success in answering questions about vertex connectivity.
This could ultimately help us understand how to build more robust and faster networks says Ghaffari who developed the new approach alongside Keren Censor-Hillel at the Technion and Fabian Kuhn at the University of Freiburg.
If a network contains three edge-disjoint spanning trees for example information can flow in parallel along each of these trees at the same time meaning three times more bandwidth than would be possible in a graph containing just one tree.
and then passed to any other node in the network. So in a similar way to Tutte and Nash-Williams'results for edge connectivity each graph contains almost as many vertex-disjoint connected dominating sets as its vertex connectivity Ghaffari says.
So if you think of an application like broadcasting information through a network we can now decompose the network into many groups each being connected one dominating set he says.
The team has developed now an algorithm that can carefully decompose a network into many connected dominating sets.
In this way it can structure so-called wireless ad hoc networks in which individual nodes route data by passing it from one to the next to ensure the best possible speed of information flow.
We want to be able to spread as much information as possible per unit of time to create faster and faster networks Ghaffari says.
Applications in assessing robustnessthe researchers can also use their new approach to analyze the robustness of a network against random failures.
whether a network is likely to remain connected when its nodes fail randomly with some given probability Ghaffari says.
when broadcasting messages using routing in communication networks. The investigation of this notion vertex disjoint connected dominating sets is treated in this paper by an elegant combination of combinatorial probabilistic and algorithmic techniques he says.
