Topological equivalence of optical crossover networks and modified data manipulator networks
Abstract:
The crossover network is a multistage interconnection network that shows potential for use in optical computing and photonic switching applications. In this paper, a proof of topological equivalence between the crossover network and the modified data manipulator network is presented. It is shown that the Gray Code can be used as the mapping function between the crossover network and a network which is equivalent to the modified data manipulator network. Given the results of this proof, the optical crossover network can then be proposed as the optical interconnection fabric for many switching and computing applications.

Circuit Terminology
A circuit, on the other hand, is also an interconnected system of electrical elements but must contain one or more closed paths.
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
