Constructing two completely independent spanning trees in the dual-cube

Combinatorics 2026-07-28 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the existence of two completely independent spanning trees in the nn-dimensional dual-cube FnF_n, a variant of the hypercube, for every n5n \geq 5. To this end, we use the hypercube structure of the clusters of FnF_n to extend the construction of CIST from the (n1)(n-1)-dimensional hypercube to the dual-cube. In addition, we propose a recursive algorithm that builds the two trees while improving their diameters. Finally, we propose a conjecture concerning the existence of kk completely independent spanning trees in the dual-cube.
