โฆ Synopsis
A k-separator k-shredder of a k-node connected undirected graph is a set of k ลฝ . nodes whose removal results in two or more three or more connected components. Let n denote the number of nodes. Solving an open question, we show that the problem of counting the number of k-separators is เ ปP-complete. However, we ลฝ 2 2 3 1.5 . ลฝ . present an O k n q k n -time deterministic algorithm for finding all the k-shredders. This solves an open question: efficiently find a k-separator whose removal maximizes the number of connected components. For k G 4, our running time is within a factor of k of the fastest algorithm known for testing k-node connectivity. One application of shredders is to increase the node connectivity from ลฝ . ลฝ . k to k q 1 by efficiently adding an approximately minimum number of new ลฝ . ลฝ 5 . edges.

Two fundamental considerations in the design of a communication network are reliability and maximum transmission delay. In this paper we give an algorithm for construction of an undirected graph with n vertices in which there are k node-disjoint paths between any two nodes. The generated graphs will
## Abstract Navigator echoes provide an effective method to monitor physiological motion, allowing motion artifacts to be suppressed by modifying the data acquisition accordingly. The displacement can be measured directly from the navigator phase using an algorithm suggested by Ahn and Cho (IEEE Tr
The nearest neighbor rule or k-nearest neighbor rule is a technique of nonparametric pattern recognition. Its algorithm is simple and the error is smaller than twice the Bayes error if there are enough training samples. However, it requires an enormous amount of computation, proportional to the numb
