Abstract

The nn-dimensional random twisted hypercube Gn\mathbf{G}_n is constructed recursively by taking two instances of Gn1\mathbf{G}_{n-1}, with any joint distribution, and adding a random perfect matching between their vertex sets. Benjamini, Dikstein, Gross, and Zhukovskii showed that its diameter is O(nlogloglogn/loglogn)O(n\log \log \log n/\log \log n) with high probability and at least (n1)/log2n{(n - 1)/ \log_2 n}. We improve their upper bound by showing that diam(Gn)=(1+o(1))nlog2n\operatorname{diam}(\mathbf{G}_n) = \big(1 + o(1)\big) \frac{n}{\log_2 n} with high probability.
