Abstract
Ruskey and Savage asked the following question: Does every matching of for extend to a Hamiltonian cycle of ? J. Fink showed that the question is true for every perfect matching, and solved the Kreweras' conjecture. In this paper we consider the question in hypercubes with faulty edges. We show that every matching of at most edges can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle of for . Moreover, we can prove that when and is nonempty this result still holds even if has at most faulty edges with one exception.
