Abstract

The varietal hypercube VQn is a variant of the hypercube Qn and has better properties than Qn with the same number of edges and vertices. This paper proves that VQn is vertex-transitive. This property shows that when VQn is used to model an interconnection network, it is high symmetrical and obviously superior to other variants of the hypercube such as the crossed cube.
