Abstract

The balanced hypercube BHnBH_n, a variant of the hypercube, was proposed as a desired interconnection network topology. It is known that BHnBH_n is bipartite. Assume that S={s1,s2,,s2n2}S=\{s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_{2n-2}\} and T={t1,t2,,t2n2}T=\{t_1,t_2,\cdots,t_{2n-2}\} are any two sets of vertices in different partite sets of BHnBH_n (n2n\geq2). It has been proved that there exists paired 2-disjoint path cover of BHnBH_n. In this paper, we prove that there exists unpaired (2n2)(2n-2)-disjoint path cover of BHnBH_n (n2n\geq2) from SS to TT, which improved some known results. The upper bound 2n22n-2 of the number of disjoint paths in unpaired (2n2)(2n-2)-disjoint path cover is best possible.
