“…In order to figure out the probability that there exist disjoint shortest paths in a star network, bruteforce computations were carried out for verifying the sufficient condition on all the combinations of the source node and target nodes by running computer programs. In the situation that all of the source node and target nodes are mutually distinct, computational results have shown that the probability of the existence of the m disjoint shortest paths in the n-star is greater than 80%, 88%, 80%, 77%, and 92% for (m, n) = (2, 3), (2,4), (3,5), (4,6), and (3, 7), respectively.…”
