Abstract

Metacyclic graphs, which include supertoroids as a subclass, have been shown to possess interesting properties and potential applications in implementing moderate- to large-size parallel processors with fairly small node degrees. Wu, Lakshmivarahan, and Dhall (J. Parallel Distrib. Comput. 60 (2000), pp. 539–565) have described a deterministic, distributed routing scheme for certain subclasses of metacyclic graphs. However, they offer no proof that the scheme is a shortest-path routing algorithm and do not indicate whether or how their scheme may be extended to the entire class of metacyclic graphs. In this paper, we provide a near-shortest-path, deterministic routing algorithm that is applicable to any metacyclic graph and derive a bound for the diameter of such graphs.
