Description
Summary:Analyzing network connectivity is important for evaluating the robustness, efficiency, and overall performance of various architectural designs. By examining the intricate interactions among nodes and their connections, researchers can determine a network’s resilience to failures, its capacity to support efficient information flow, and its adaptability to dynamic conditions. These insights are critical across multiple domains—such as telecommunications, computer science, biology, and social networks—where optimizing connectivity can significantly enhance functionality and reliability. In the literature, there are many variations of connectivity to measure network resilience and fault tolerance. In this survey, we focus on connectivity, tightly super connectivity, and <i>h</i>-extra connectivity within DVcube networks—a compound architecture combining disk-ring and hypercube-like topologies. Additionally, we identify several open problems to encourage further exploration in future research.
