Title
Symmetric Property And Reliability Of Locally Twisted Cubes
Abstract
The locally twisted cube LTQ(n) is a variant of the hypercube Q(n), which was introduced by Yang et al. (2005) as an interconnection network for parallel computing. The symmetry of Q(n) is well-known, for example, it is an edge-transitive Cayley graph. However, the symmetry of LTQ(n) remains unclear. In this paper, we first prove that LTQ(n) with n >= 4 is isomorphic to a bi-Cayley graph of an elementary abelian 2-group Z(2)(n)(-1) of order 2(n-1), and then prove that the full automorphism group of LTQ(n) with n >= 4 is isomorphic to Z(2)(n-1). These show that LTQ(n) with n >= 4 is not edge-transitive, and its full automorphism group has exactly two orbits on the vertex set of LTQ(n) (and consequently it is not vertex-transitive and not a Cayley graph). What is more, the symmetry of LTQ(n) with n >= 4 also implies that it can be decomposed to two vertex-disjoint (n- 1)-dimensional hypercubes and a perfect matching. As an application, we obtain the k-extra connectivity and (k 1)-component connectivity with k <= n - 1 of LTQ(n), which generalize some previous works. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
