The enhanced pyramid graph was recently proposed as an interconnection network model in parallel processing for maximizing regularity in pyramid networks. We prove that there are two edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in the enhanced pyramid networks. This investigation demonstrates its superior property in edge fault tolerance. This result is optimal in the sense that the minimum degree of the graph is only four.

For an even integer m at least 4 and any positive integer $t$, it is shown that the complete equipartite graph $K_{km(2t)}$ can be decomposed into edge-disjoint gregarious m-cycles for any positive integer ${\kappa}$ under the condition satisfying ${\frac{{(m-1)}^2+3}{4m}}$ < ${\kappa}$. Here it will be called a gregarious cycle if the cycle has at most one vertex from each partite set.

이 논문은 재귀원형군 G(2^m , 2^k )를 그래프 이론적 관점에서 고찰하고 정점이 서로소인 사이클과 그래프 invariant에 관한 위상 특성을 제시한다. 재귀원형군은 1 에서 제안된 다중 컴퓨터의 연결망 구조이다. 재귀원형군 {{{{G(2^m , 2^k )가 길이 사이클을 가질 필요 충분 조건을 구하고, 이 조건하에서 G(2^m , 2^k )는 가능한 최대 개수의 정점이 서로소이고 길이가l`인 사이클을 가짐을 보인다. 그리고 정점 및 에지 채색, 최대 클릭, 독립 집합 및 정점 커버에 대한 그래프 invariant를 분석한다.Abstract In this paper, we investigate recursive circulant G(2^m , 2^k ) from the graph theory point of view and present topological properties of G(2^m , 2^k ) concerned with vertex-disjoint cycles and graph invariants. Recursive circulant is an interconnection structure for multicomputer networks proposed in 1 . A necessary and sufficient condition for recursive circulant {{{{G(2^m , 2^k ) to have a cycle of lengthl` is derived. Under the condition, we show that G(2^m , 2^k ) has the maximum possible number of vertex-disjoint cycles of length l`. We analyze graph invariants on vertex and edge coloring, maximum clique, independent set and vertex cover.

The pyramid graph is well known in parallel processing as a interconnection network topology based on regular square mesh and tree architectures. The enhanced pyramid graph is an alternative architecture by exchanging mesh into the corresponding torus on the base for upgrading performance than the pyramid. In this paper, we adopt a strategy of classification into two disjoint groups of edges in regular square torus as a basic sub-graph constituting of each layer in the enhanced pyramid graph. Edge set in the torus graph is considered as two disjoint sub-sets called NPC(represents candidate edge for neighbor-parent) and SPC(represents candidate edge for shared-parent) whether the parents vertices adjacent to two end vertices of the corresponding edge have a relation of neighbor or sharing in the upper layer of the enhanced pyramid graph. In addition, we also introduce a notion of shrink graph to focus only on the NPC-edges by hiding SPC-edges within the shrunk super-vertex on the resulting shrink graph. In this paper, we analyze that the lower and upper bounds on the number of NPC-edges in a Hamiltonian cycle constructed on $2^n{\times}2^n$ torus is $2^{2n-2}$ and $3{\cdot}2^{2n-2}$ respectively. By expanding this result into the enhanced pyramid graph, we also prove that the maximum number of NPC-edges containable in a Hamiltonian cycle is $4^{n-1}$-2n+1 in the n-dimensional enhanced pyramid.

The pyramid graph is an interconnection network topology based on regular square mesh and tree structures. In this paper, we adopt a strategy of classification into two disjoint groups of edges in regular square mesh as a base sub-graph constituting of each layer in the pyramid graph. Edge set in the mesh can be divided into two disjoint sub-sets called as NPC(represents candidate edge for neighbor-parent) and SPC(represents candidate edge for shared-parent) whether the parents vertices adjacent to two end vertices of the corresponding edge have a relation of neighbor or shared in the upper layer of pyramid graph. In addition, we also introduce a notion of shrink graph to focus only on the NPC-edges by hiding SPC-edges in the original graph within the shrunk super-vertex on the resulting graph. In this paper, we analyze that the lower and upper bound on the number of NPC-edges in a Hamiltonian cycle constructed on $2^n\times2^n$ mesh is $2^{2n-2}$ and $3*(2^{2n-2}-2^{n-1})$ respectively. By expanding this result into the pyramid graph, we also prove that the maximum number of NPC-edges containable in a Hamiltonian cycle is $4^{n-1}-3*2^{n-1}$-2n+7 in the n-dimensional pyramid.

Let G be a planar graph with maximum degree $\Delta$. The linear 2-arboricity $la_2$(G) of G is the least integer k such that G can be partitioned into k edge-disjoint forests, whose component trees are paths of length at most 2. In this paper, we prove that (1) $la_2(G){\leq}{\lceil}\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+8$ if G has no adjacent 3-cycles; (2) $la_2(G){\leq}{\lceil}\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+10$ if G has no adjacent 4-cycles; (3) $la_2(G){\leq}{\lceil}\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+6$ if any 3-cycle is not adjacent to a 4-cycle of G.
