Abstract :
A graph G=(V, E) is said to be pancyclic if it contains fault-free cycles of all lengths from 4 to |V| in G. Let Fv and Fe be the sets of faulty nodes and faulty edges of an n-dimensional Mobius cube MQn, respectively, and let F=Fv∪Fe. A faulty graph is pancyclic if it contains fault-free cycles of all lengths from 4 to |V-Fv|. In this paper, we show that MQn-F contains a fault-free Hamiltonian path when |F|≤n-1 and n≥1. We also show that MQn-F is pancyclic when |F|≤n-2 and n≥2. Since MQn is regular of degree n, both results are optimal in the worst case.
