title: Spanning paths in hypercubes
keywords: Hamiltonian paths, spanning paths, hypercube, vertex fault tolerance
abstract: Given a family
{u
i
,v
i
}
i=1
k
of pairwise distinct vertices of the
n
-dimensional hypercube
Q
n
such that the distance of
u
i
and
v
i
is odd and
k≤n-1
, there exists a family
{P
i
}
i=1
k
of paths such that
u
i
and
v
i
are the endvertices of
P
i
and
{V(P
i
)}
i=1
k
partitions
V(Q
n
)
. This holds for any
n≥2
with one exception in the case when
n=k+1=4
. On the other hand, for any
n≥3
there exist
n
pairs of vertices satisfying the above condition for which such a family of spanning paths does not exist. We suggest further generalization of this result and explore a relationship to the problem of hamiltonicity of hypercubes with faulty vertices.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.

Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
