Finding Critical Regions and Region-Disjoint Paths in a Network

Due to their importance to society, communication networks should be built and operated to withstand failures.However, cost considerations make network providers less inclined to take robustness measures against failures that are unlikely to manifest, like several failures coinciding simultaneously in different geographic regions of their...

Critical regions and region-disjoint paths in a network

Due to the importance of communication networks to society, it is pertinent that these networks can withstand failures. Improving the robustness of a network usually requires installing redundant resources, which is very costly. Network providers are consequently less inclined to take robustness measures against failures that are unlikely to...
