Abstract

In 2000, Li et al. introduced dual-cube networks, denoted by DC"n for n=1, using the hypercube family Q"n and showed the vertex symmetry and some fault-tolerant hamiltonian properties of DC"n. In this article, we introduce a new family of interconnection networks called dual-cube extensive networks, denoted by DCEN(G). Given any arbitrary graph G, DCEN(G) is generated from G using the similar structure of DC"n. We show that if G is a nonbipartite and hamiltonian connected graph, then DCEN(G) is hamiltonian connected. In addition, if G has the property that for any two distinct vertices u,v of G, there exist three disjoint paths between u and v such that these three paths span the graph G, then DCEN(G) preserves the same property. Furthermore, we prove that the similar results hold when G is a bipartite graph.
