On optimal orientations of Cartesian products of even cycles
K.M. Koh, Eng Guan Tay ยท Networks ยท 1998
For a graph G, let ๐ (G) be the family of strong orientations of G. Define dฬ (G) = min {d (D)|D โ ๐ (G)} and ฯ(G) = dฬ (G) โ d (G), where d (D) [respectively, d (G)] denotes the diameter of the digraph D (respectively, graph G). Let G ร H denote the Cartesian product of the graphs G and H, and Cp, the cycle of order p. In this paper, we show that ฯ(C2m ร C2n) = 0 and ฯ(C2m ร C2n ร G1 ร G2 ร โฆ ร Gk) = 0, where {Gi |1 โค i โค k} is any combination of paths and cycles. ยฉ 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
