Abstract

In 1987, Akers, Harel and Krishnamurthy proposed the star graph @S(n) as a new topology for interconnection networks. Hamiltonian properties of these graphs have been investigated by several authors. In this paper, we prove that @S(n) contains @?n/8@? pairwise edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles when n is prime, and @W(n/loglogn) such cycles for arbitrary n.
