Abstract
Since today graphs have many applications in different sciences including computer networks, in this thesis a number of graphs which have been widely used in computer networks, are studied.The graphs presented in this thesis are hypercubes, generalized hypercubes (Bhuyan and grawal, 1984), balanced hypercubes (Huang and Jie, 1992) and the star graphs (Sheldon and Akers, 1987), which are the generalization of the hypercubes and have similar properties.In general the graph which is considered for computer networks as an interconnection structure,should have small degrees of vertices, a small diameter, and a large number of paths between any two vertices. Thus in our studies these three...
