@article{oai:kanazawa-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00007628, author = {Matsubayashi, Akira and Ueno, Shuichi}, issue = {1}, journal = {Networks}, month = {Jan}, note = {We consider the problem of embedding graphs into hypercubes with minimal congestion. Kim and Lai showed that for a given N-vertex graph G and a hypercube it is NP-complete to determine whether G is embeddable in the hypercube with unit congestion, but G can be embedded with unit congestion in a hypercube of dimension 6[log N] if the maximum degree of a vertex in G is no more than 6[log N]. Bhatt et al. showed that every N-vertex binary tree can be embedded in a hypercube of dimension [log N] with O(1) congestion. In this paper, we extend the results above and show the following : (1) Every N-vertex graph G can be embedded with unit congestion in a hypercube of dimension 2[log N] if the maximum degree of a vertex in G is no more than 2[log N], and (2) every N-vertex binary tree can be embedded in a hypercube of dimension [log N] with congestion at most 5. The former answers a question posed by Kim and Lai. The latter is the first result that shows a simple embedding of a binary tree into an optimal-sized hypercube with an explicit small congestion of 5. This partially answers a question posed by Bhatt et al. The embeddings proposed here are quite simple and can be constructed in polynomial time. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
