Hamiltonian cycles and paths in hypercubes with disjoint faulty edges
Abstract
We consider hypercubes with pairwise disjoint faulty edges. An -dimensional hypercube is an undirected graph with nodes, each labeled with a distinct binary strings of length . The parity of the vertex is 0 if the number of ones in its labels is even, and is 1 if the number of ones is odd. Two vertices and are connected by the edge iff and differ in one position. If and differ in position , then we say that the edge goes in direction and we define the parity of the edge as the parity of the end with 0 on the position . It was already known that is not Hamiltonian if all edges going in one direction and of the same parity are faulty. In this paper we show that if then all other hypercubes are Hamiltonian. In other words, every cube , with and disjoint faulty edges is Hamiltonian if and only if for each direction there are two healthy crossing edges of different parity.
