Symmetry-guided design of topologies for supercomputer networks

Abstract

A family of graphs optimized as the topologies for supercomputer interconnection networks is proposed. The special needs of such network topologies, minimal diameter and mean path length, are met by special constructions of the weight vectors in a representation of the symplectic algebra. Such theoretical design of topologies can conveniently reconstruct the mesh and hypercubic graphs, widely used as today's network topologies. Our symplectic algebraic approach helps generate many classes of graphs suitable for network topologies.

Factorisability of Low Dimensional Non-Negative Integer Matrices

We consider the problem of determining if a given two-dimensional nonnegative integer matrix $M$ is the product of two such matrices, excluding trivial units. A matrix $M$ with no such factorisation is called prime and therefore belongs to the minimal (infinite rank) generator of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the natural numbers, otherwise it is called composite. We also consider the problem of finding a (non-unique) factorisation of a composite matrix. Our results have applications in computational group theory and the theory of codes, where such matrices are called incidence matrices. We analyse the complexity of primality and finding a factorisation for a composite matrix, providing a first efficient algorithm.

The parameterised complexity of generalised temporal domination on temporal graphs with modular structure

Inspired by the static problem $(α,β)$-Dominating Set, we propose a general temporal domination problem, called $(α,β)$-Temporal Dominating Set ($(α,β)$-TDS). We show that this problem encompasses Temporal Dominating Set, and additionally provides first temporal extensions of problems such as $k$-Dominating Set and $α$-Dominating Set. In this paper, we study the parameterised complexity of $(α,β)$-TDS with respect to temporal neighbourhood diversity (TND), temporal modular-width (TMW), and temporal cliquewidth (TCW). We obtain fixed parameter tractability results for all values of $α$ and $β$ with respect to TND; W[1]-hardness with respect to TMW and TCW whenever $β$ is in the problem input, or whenever $α\in (0,1)$ and $β$ is a fixed constant; and para-NP-hardness with respect to TCW when $α= 0$ and $β= 1$, or $α= 1$ and $β= 0$.
