Abstract:Fault-tolerant broadcasting in dense Eisenstein--Jacobi networks requires efficient recovery when faulty nodes disrupt the original broadcast structure. A re-rooting-based method guarantees that, for any two faulty nodes, a valid new source exists at maximum graph distance from both faults. However, identifying such a source without scanning the network or testing all boundary candidates remains an open practical problem. This paper presents a closed-form, constant-time algorithm for counting and selecting a valid new source in dense Eisenstein--Jacobi networks under two node faults. The two-fault problem is reduced to a boundary-intersection problem involving the origin and a difference node. The distance-$t$ boundary, where $t$ is the network diameter, is partitioned into six directed sides of the Eisenstein--Jacobi hexagon. Since the network is a quotient structure, intersection equations are solved modulo the defining lattice, requiring evaluation of seven quotient-lattice shifts across all $6\times 6$ side pairs, yielding at most $252$ algebraic systems. The first algorithm counts all valid new sources for faults at $0$ and $A$. The second algorithm selects one valid new source for arbitrary fault pairs by solving translated side-pair systems, verifying each candidate, and shifting back. Each system is either a non-parallel $2\times 2$ linear system with at most one candidate, or a parallel system whose feasible candidates form an integer interval. Both algorithms run in $O(1)$ time under the fixed-word arithmetic model. Computational validation over $500{,}000$ sampled fault pairs and $40{,}000$ re-rooting trials confirms correctness: the selector always returns a valid new source, and the recovered broadcast reaches all non-faulty nodes.
