Embedding \(k\)(\(n-k\)) edge-disjoint spanning trees in arrangement graphs. (English) Zbl 1059.68081

Summary: The arrangement graphs are a class of generalized star graphs. In this paper we construct a graph that consists of the maximum number of directed edge-disjoint spanning trees in an arrangement graph. The paths that connect the common root node to any given node through different spanning trees are node-disjoint, and the lengths of these paths differ from the shortest possible lengths by a small additive constant. This graph can be used to derive fault-tolerant algorithms for broadcasting and scattering problems without prior knowledge of the faulty elements of the network.
