Multi-Orientation Edge-Minimum Repair for Non-Redundant Fault-Tolerant Broadcasting in Dense Gaussian Networks

Abstract

Dense Gaussian networks are degree-four algebraic interconnection networks with compact diameter and simple modular routing. This paper studies non-redundant one-to-all broadcast repair in the dense Gaussian network generated by $α=k+(k+1)i$. We propose multi-orientation edge-minimum repair (MOEM), which evaluates a constant-size family of Gaussian broadcast-tree orientations, selects a fault-aware orientation, contracts the fault-pruned tree into healthy components, and reconnects those components using external component-crossing repair edges. The resulting structure is a rooted spanning tree of the healthy subgraph, so each healthy node receives the message exactly once and no faulty node is used. We prove that, for a chosen orientation with $c$ fault-pruned components and a connected healthy component graph, the repair step is non-redundant and uses the minimum possible number $c-1$ of external component-repair edges. We also prove that, for every one- or two-fault placement, the MOEM orientation family contains a repair with depth at most $k+2$. The depth proof combines a certificate framework, an explicit four-case off-axis analysis, and a five-component orthogonal-axis certificate. Exhaustive validation for $k=5,\ldots,10$ and large-scale validation through $k=200$ confirm the implementation and show that random two-fault repairs use approximately two external repair edges.
