Abstract

In this paper, we characterize a class of graphs which can be embedded on a boolean cube. Some of the graphs in this class are identified with the well known graphs such asmulti-dimensional mesh of trees, tree of meshes, etc. We suggest (i) an embedding of anr-dimensional mesh of trees ofn r(r+1)−rn r−1 nodes on a boolean cube of (2n)r nodes, and (ii) an embedding of a tree of meshes with 2n 2 logn+n 2 nodes on a boolean cube withn 2 exp2 (log (2 logn+1)]) nodes.
