In this work we present an inductive construction of a large family of 2-factors in the middle layer graph for all $n\\geq 1$. We also investigate how the choice of certain parameters used in the construction affects the number and lengths of the cycles in the resulting 2-factor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-11-10T08:09:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "discrete cube", "middle layer graph", "vertex set consists", "construction affects", "entries equal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1111.2413M" } } }
