We study a new and stronger notion of fault-tolerant graph structures whose size bounds depend on the degree of the failing edge set, rather than the total number of faults. For a subset of faulty edges $F \subseteq G$, the faulty-degree…
A natural requirement of many distributed structures is fault-tolerance: after some failures, whatever remains from the structure should still be effective for whatever remains from the network. In this paper we examine spanners of general…
A {\em fault-tolerant} structure for a network is required to continue functioning following the failure of some of the network's edges or vertices. In this paper, we address the problem of designing a {\em fault-tolerant} additive spanner,…
The resiliency of a network is its ability to remain \emph{effectively} functioning also when any of its nodes or links fails. However, to reduce operational and set-up costs, a network should be small in size, and this conflicts with the…
We initiate the study on fault-tolerant spanners in hypergraphs and develop fast algorithms for their constructions. A fault-tolerant (FT) spanner preserves approximate distances under network failures, often used in applications like…
Resilient computation in all-to-all-communication models has attracted tremendous attention over the years. Most of these works assume the classical faulty model which restricts the total number of corrupted edges (or vertices) by some…
Preservers and additive spanners are sparse (hence cheap to store) subgraphs that preserve the distances between given pairs of nodes exactly or with some small additive error, respectively. Since real-world networks are prone to failures,…
Fault-tolerant connectivity labelings are schemes that, given an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ and $f\geq 1$, produce succinct yet informative labels for the elements of the graph. Given only the labels of two vertices $u,v$ and of the…
In this paper we study the problem of how resilient networks are to node faults. Specifically, we investigate the question of how many faults a network can sustain so that it still contains a large (i.e. linear-sized) connected component…
The loss of a few neurons in a brain rarely results in any visible loss of function. However, the insight into what "few" means in this context is unclear. How many random neuron failures will it take to lead to a visible loss of function?…
We study the fault-tolerance of networks from both the structural and computational point of view using the minimum leaf number of the corresponding graph $G$, i.e. the minimum number of leaves of the spanning trees of $G$, and its…
In the almost-everywhere reliable message transmission problem, introduced by [Dwork, Pippenger, Peleg, Upfal'86], the goal is to design a sparse communication network $G$ that supports efficient, fault-tolerant protocols for interactions…
The paper presents fault-tolerant (FT) labeling schemes for general graphs, as well as, improved FT routing schemes. For a given $n$-vertex graph $G$ and a bound $f$ on the number of faults, an $f$-FT connectivity labeling scheme is a…
Load balancing is among the basic primitives in distributed computing. In this paper, we consider this problem when executed locally on a network with nodes prone to failures. We show that there exist lightweight network topologies that are…
Many complex systems, such as communication networks, display a surprising degree of robustness: while key components regularly malfunction, local failures rarely lead to the loss of the global information-carrying ability of the network.…
This paper introduces a new class of efficient inter connection networks called as M-graphs for large multi-processor systems.The concept of M-matrix and M-graph is an extension of Mn-matrices and Mn-graphs.We analyze these M-graphs…
This paper addresses the problem of designing a {\em fault-tolerant} $(\alpha, \beta)$ approximate BFS structure (or {\em FT-ABFS structure} for short), namely, a subgraph $H$ of the network $G$ such that subsequent to the failure of some…
We study implementations of basic fault-tolerant primitives, such as consensus and registers, in message-passing systems subject to process crashes and a broad range of communication failures. Our results characterize the necessary and…
A detection system, modeled in a graph, is composed of "detectors" positioned at a subset of vertices in order to uniquely locate an ``intruder" at any vertex. \emph{Identifying codes} use detectors that can sense the presence or absence of…
One of the most important and well-studied settings for network design is edge-connectivity requirements. This encompasses uniform demands such as the Minimum $k$-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph problem ($k$-ECSS), as well as nonuniform…
