Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) has been proposed as a robust technique to determine possible long-range correlations in power-law processes (Phys. Rev. E 49 (1994) 1685–1989). However, recent studies have reported the susceptibility of DFA to trends [(Phys. Rev. E 64 (2001)...

The balanced hypercube is a variant of the hypercube structure and has desirable properties like connectivity, regularity, and symmetry. The cycle is a popular interconnection topology and has been widely used in distributed-memory parallel computers. Moreover, parallel algorithms of cycles have...
