Abstract

A hierarchical cubic network was proposed as an alternative to the hypercube. We use HCN(n) to denote the hierarchical cubic network that contains 2n n-dimensional hypercubes. In this paper, using Gray codes, we construct fault-free hamiltonian cycles in an HCN(n) with n-1 link faults. Since the HCN(n) is regular of degree n+1, the result is optimal. We also construct longest fault-free cycles of length 22n-1 in an HCN(n) with one node fault, and fault-free cycles of length at least 22n-2f in an HCN(n) with f node faults, where 22n is the number of nodes in the HCN(n), f≤n-1 if n=3 or 4, and f≤n if n≥5.
