A network is said to be
g-conditionally faulty if its every vertex has at least
g fault-free neighbors, where
g≥1. An
n-dimensional folded hypercube
FQn is a well-known variation of an
n-dimensional hypercube
Qn, which can be constructed from
Qn by adding an edge to every pair of vertices with complementary addresses.
FQn for any odd
n is known to be bipartite. In this paper, let
03bb" title="Click to view the MathML source">FFv denote the set of faulty vertices in
FQn, and let
b4531a01509450a97ef63" title="Click to view the MathML source">FFQn(e) denote the set of faulty vertices which are incident to the end-vertices of any fault-free edge
e∈E(FQn). Then, under the 4-conditionally faulty and
|FFQn(e)|≤n−3, we consider for the vertex-fault-tolerant cycles embedding properties in
FQn−FFv, as follows:
- 1.
For n≥4, FQn−FFv contains a fault-free cycle of every even length from 4 to 2n−2|FFv|, where b4501b4009c6a492c0334cd10e8" title="Click to view the MathML source">|FFv|≤2n−7;
- 2.
For n≥4 being even, FQn−FFv contains a fault-free cycle of every odd length from n+1 to 2n−2|FFv|−1, where b4501b4009c6a492c0334cd10e8" title="Click to view the MathML source">|FFv|≤2n−7.
