Hypercube Graph - Construction

Construction

The hypercube graph Qn may be constructed using 2n vertices labeled 0,1,2,...,2n-1 and connecting two vertices whenever their Hamming distance equals 1. Additionally Qn+1 may be constructed using two hypercubes Qn and joining equivalent vertices together as shown in the above picture. The joining edges are called the (n+1)th dimension of Qn. Each dimension of Qn forms a perfect matching. Another definition of Qn is the Cartesian product of n two-vertex complete graphs K2.

Famous quotes containing the word construction:

    Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
