Abstract

It is well known that the k-ary n-cube has been one of the most efficient interconnection networks for distributed-memory parallel systems. A k-ary n-cube is bipartite if and only if k is even. Let (X,Y) be a bipartition of a k-ary 2-cube (even integer k ≥ 4). In this paper, we prove that for any two healthy vertices u ∈ X, v ∈ Y, there exists a hamiltonian path from u to v in the faulty k-ary 2-cube with one faulty vertex in each part.

Keywords: complex networks, path embeddings, fault-tolerance, k-ary n-cubes
