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’Ÿ (G) be the family of strong orientations of G. Define dฬ„ (G) = min {d (D)|D โˆˆ ๐’Ÿ (G)} and ฯ(G) = dฬ„ (G) โˆ’ 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— โ€ฆ ร— Gk) = 0, where {Gi |1 โ‰ค i โ‰ค k} is any combination of paths and cycles. ยฉ 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
