Fibonacci Cube Graph


FibonacciCubeGraph

The Fibonacci cube graph of order n is a graph on F_(n+2) vertices, where F_n is a Fibonacci number, labeled by the Zeckendorf representations of the numbers 0 to F_(n+2)-1 and with two vertices connected by an edge iff their labels differ by a single bit (i.e., if the Hamming distance between them is exactly 1). The Fibonacci cube of order n may be denoted Gamma_n (Munarini et al. 2001, Munarini 2019).

The Fibonacci cube graph of order n has edge count

m(F_n)=2(n+1)F_n+nF_(n+1)
(1)
=1/(10)[(5n+4)F_n+nL_n,
(2)

where F_n is a Fibonacci number and L_n is a Lucas number.

Fibonacci cube graphs are traceable and bipartite. The n-Fibonacci cube graph is Hamiltonian for n=4, 7, 10, .... The Fibonacci cube graphs are also median graphs (Klavžar 2005, Došlić and Podrug 2023).

Fibonacci cubes have been generalized to graphs having vertex counts counted by various types of higher-order Fibonacci numbers (Hsu and Chung 1993, Došlić and Podrug 2023).

Special cases are summarized in the table below.
