Abstract

Zero forcing is a graph propagation process introduced in quantum physics and theoretical computer science, and closely related to the minimum rank problem. The minimum rank of a graph is the smallest possible rank over all matrices described by a given network. We use this relationship to determine the minimum rank and the zero forcing number of butterfly networks, concluding they present optimal properties in regards to both problems.
