Title
A Study On The Tie-Set Graph Theory And Network Flow Optimization Problems
Abstract
Aiming at establishing a firm basic theory to ring-based information network management systems, our paper proposes a tie-set graph theory. We define a binary vector representing-a tie-set in a biconnected undirected graph G = ( V, E) as a tie-set vector. The set of tie-set vectors forms a vector space over the proposed law of composition, then a basis of the vector space, mu linear independent tie-set vectors, is defined as a tie-set basis. The essential key concept in our theory is a tie-set graph, which has a one-to-one correspondence to a tie-set basis and represents a relation between two tie-set vectors of the basis. Some important properties of tie-set graphs and their application to survivable mesh networks in modem high-speed backbone networks are also presented. Furthermore, as a general approach to network flow optimization problems, tie-set flow vector space is proposed based on the tie-set graph theory. A distributed algorithm for the network flow optimization problems and its application are also presented in this paper. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
