Abstract

An n-dimensional hypercube Q"n is a Hamiltonian graph; in other words Q"n (n=2) contains a spanning subgraph which is 2-regular and 2-connected. In this paper, we explore yet another strong property of hypercubes. We prove that for any integer k with 3@?k@?n, Q"n (n=3) contains a spanning subgraph which is k-regular, k-connected and bipancyclic. We also obtain the result that every mesh P"mxP"n (m,n=2) is bipancyclic, which is used to prove the property above.
