Single-source three-disjoint path covers in cubes of connected graphs

Abstract: A k-disjoint path cover (k-DPC for short) of a graph is a set of k internally vertex-disjoint paths from given sources to sinks that collectively cover every vertex in the graph. In this paper, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the cube of a connected graph to have a 3-DPC joining a single source to three sinks. We also show that the cube of a connected graph always has a 3-DPC joining arbitrary two vertices.

“…Given S and T in a graph G, it is NP-complete to determine if there exists a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many k-DPC joining S and T for any fixed k ≥ 1 [32,33]. The disjoint path cover problems have been studied for graphs such as hypercubes [5,6,7,10,13,19,24], recursive circulants [20,21,32,33], and hypercube-like graphs [18,22,28,33], cube of a connected graph [29,30], and k-ary n-cubes [35,37]. Necessary conditions for a graph G to be f -fault many-to-many k-disjoint path coverable have been established in terms of its connectivity κ(G) and its minimum degree δ(G) [32,33], as shown below.…”
