Abstract

We inductively describe an embedding of a complete ternary tree Th of height h into a hypercube Q of dimension at most ⎡(1.6)h⎤+1 with load 1, dilation 2, node congestion 2 and edge congestion 2. This is an improvement over the known embedding of Th into Q. And it is very close to a conjectured embedding of Havel [3] which states that there exists an embedding of Th into its optimal hypercube with load 1 and dilation 2. The optimal hypercube has dimension ⎡(log23)h ⎤ ( = ⎡(1.585)h ⎤) or ⎡(log23)h⎤+1.

Keywords: complete ternary trees, hypercube, interconnection network, embedding, dilation, node congestion, edge congestion.
