Abstract

Given a graph \( G \), we are interested in finding disjoint paths for a given set of distinct pairs of vertices. In 2017, we formally defined a new parameter, the pansophy of \( G \), in the context of the disjoint path problem. In this paper, we develop an algorithm for computing the pansophy of graphs and illustrate the algorithm on graphs where the pansophy is already known. We close with future research directions.

Keywords: Interconnection networks, graphs, algorithms, vertex disjoint paths, pansophy.
