Sense of direction refers to a set of global consistency constraints of the local labeling of the edges of a network. Sense of direction has a large impact on the communication complexity of many distributed problems. In this paper, we study the impact that sense of direction has on computability an

โฆ Synopsis
A network is said to have Sense of Direction when the port labeling satisfies a particular set of global consistency constraints. In this paper we study the link between the topology of a system and the number of labels that are necessary to have a Sense of Direction in that system. We consider systems whose topology is a regular graph and we study the relationship between structural properties of d-regular graphs and existence of a Sense of Direction which uses exactly d labels (minimal SD). In particular, we identify a property (cycle symmetric@) which we show is a necessary condition for minimal SV. Among regular graphs, we then focus on Cayley graphs and we prove that they always have a minimal Sense of Direction.

Sense of direction is a property of the labelling of (possibly anonymous) networks which allows to assign coherently local identifiers to other processors on the basis of the route followed by incoming messages. A graph has minimal sense of direction whenever it has sense of direction and the number
In this paper, a new algorithm for solving a minimization problem of the functional of a variational principle was proposed by focusing on the state transition process of the interconnected neural network. A new concept of neuron called 'feedback neuron' was introduced into the conventional intercon
