Mixed Covering Arrays on Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
We give upper and lower bounds on the size of mixed covering arrays on graphs based on graph homomorphisms. We provide constructions for covering arrays on graphs based on basic graph operations. In particular, we construct optimal mixed covering arrays on trees, cycles and bipartite graphs; the constructed optimal objects have the additional property of being nearly point balanced.

Covering Arrays on Graphs: Qualitative Independence Graphs and Extremal Set Partition Theory
There has been a good deal of research on covering arrays over the last 20 years. Most of this work has focused on constructions, applications and generalizations of covering arrays. The main focus of this thesis is a generalization of covering arrays, covering arrays on graphs. The original motivation for this generalization was to improve applications of covering arrays to testing systems and...
متن کاملCovering Arrays on Product Graphs
Two vectors x, y in Zg are qualitatively independent if for all pairs (a, b) ∈ Zg×Zg, there exists i ∈ {1, 2, . . . , n} such that (xi, yi) = (a, b). A covering array on a graph G, denoted by CA(n,G, g), is a |V (G)|×n array on Zg with the property that any two rows which correspond to adjacent vertices in G are qualitatively independent. The number of columns in such array is called its size. ...
متن کاملProfiles of covering arrays of strength two
Covering arrays of strength two have been widely studied as combinatorial models of software interaction test suites for pairwise testing. While numerous algorithmic techniques have been developed for the generation of covering arrays with few columns (factors), the construction of covering arrays with many factors and few tests by these techniques is problematic. Random generation techniques c...
متن کاملMixed Covering Arrays on 3-Uniform Hypergraphs
Covering arrays are combinatorial objects that have been successfully applied in the design of test suites for testing systems such as software, circuits and networks, where failures can be caused by the interaction between their parameters. In this paper, we perform a new generalization of covering arrays called covering arrays on 3-uniform hypergraphs. Let n, k be positive integers with k ≥ 3...
متن کاملThe topological ordering of covering nodes
The topological ordering algorithm sorts nodes of a directed graph such that the order of the tail of each arc is lower than the order of its head. In this paper, we introduce the notion of covering between nodes of a directed graph. Then, we apply the topological orderingalgorithm on graphs containing the covering nodes. We show that there exists a cut set withforward arcs in these...
