Abstract

Effective utilization of communication resources is crucial for improving performance in multiprocessor/communication systems. In this paper, the mutually independent hamiltonicity is addressed for its effective utilization of resources on the binary wrapped butterfly graph. Let G be a graph with N vertices. A hamiltonian cycle C of G is represented by to emphasize the order of vertices on C. Two hamiltonian cycles of G, namely C"1= and C"2=, are said to be independent if u"1=v"1 and u"iv"i for all 2@?i@?N. A collection of m hamiltonian cycles C"1,...,C"m, starting from the same vertex, are m-mutually independent if any two different hamiltonian cycles are independent. The mutually independent hamiltonicity of a graph G, denoted by IHC(G), is defined to be the maximum integer m such that, for each vertex u of G, there exists a set of m-mutually independent hamiltonian cycles starting from u. Let BF(n) denote the n-dimensional binary wrapped butterfly graph. Then we prove that IHC(BF(n))=4 for all n=3.
