Cube-connected Cycles


In graph theory, the cube-connected cycles is an undirected cubic graph, formed by replacing each vertex of a hypercube graph by a cycle. It was introduced by by Preparata & Vuillemin (1981) for use as a network topology in parallel computing.



Definition

The cube-connected cycles of order n (denoted CCCn) can be defined as a graph formed from a set of n2n nodes, indexed by pairs of numbers (x, y) where 0 ≤ x <>n and 0 ≤ y < n. Each such node is connected to three neighbors: (x, (y + 1) mod n), (x, (y − 1) mod n), and (x ⊕ 2y, y) where "⊕" denotes the bitwise exclusive or operation on binary numbers.
