In our researches, global information will be introduced into electric power network, we are using mainly BFS of graph theory algorithms and linear discriminant principle to resolve fast and exact analysis of faulty components and faulty sections, and finally accomplish fault diagnosis. The results of BFS and linear discriminant are identical. The main technical contributions and innovations in this paper include, introducing global information into electric power network, developing a novel topological analysis to fault diagnosis. Graph theory algorithms can be used to model many different physical and abstract systems such as transportation and communication networks, models for business administration, political science, and psychology and so on. And the linear discriminant is a procedure used to classify an object into one of several a priori groupings dependent on the individual characteristics of the object. In the study of fault diagnosis in electric power network, graph theory algorithms and linear discriminant technology must also have a good prospect of application.展开更多

This paper presents an algorithm for the realization of a linear tree based on the study of the properties of the number of the single-link loops that are incident to each tree branch in the fundamental loop matrix Bf. The proposed method judges the pendent properties of the tree branches, determines their order one by one and then achieves the realization of the linear tree. The graph that corresponds to Bf is eventually constructed by adding links to the obtained linear tree. The proposed method can be extended for the realization of a general tree.展开更多

Let k be a positive integer. A k-star forest is a forest whose components are stars of order at most k ＋ 1. The k-star arboricity of a graph G,denoted by sak（ G）,is the minimum number of k-star forests needed to decompose G. In this paper,it is proved that if any two vertices of degree 3 are nonadjacent in a subcubic graph G then sa2（ G） ≤2.For general subcubic graphs G, a polynomial-time algorithm is described to decompose G into three 2-star forests. For a tree T and[Δ k, T）/k]t≤ sak（ T） ≤[Δ（ T）- 1/K]＋1,where Δ（ T） is the maximum degree of T.kMoreover,a linear-time algorithm is designed to determine whether sak（ T） ≤m for any tree T and any positive integers m and k.展开更多
