Abstract: | Let Wn denote any bipartite graph obtained by adding some edges to the n-dimensional hypercube Qn, and let S and T be any two sets of k vertices in different partite sets of Wn. In this paper, we show that the graph Wn has k vertex-disjoint (S,T)-paths containing all vertices of Wn if and only if k=2n−1 or the graph Wn−(S∪T) has a perfect matching. Moreover, if the graph Wn−(S∪T) has a perfect matching M, then the graph Wn has k vertex-disjoint (S,T)-paths containing all vertices of Wn and all edges in M. And some corollaries are given. |
