Abstract :
A graph is denoted by G with the vertex set V(G) and the edge set E(G). A path P = (v0, v1, ¿, vm) is a sequence of adjacent vertices. Two paths with equal length P1 = (u1, u2, ¿, um) and P2 = (v1, v2, ¿, vm) from a to b are independent if u1 = v1 = a, um = vm = b, and ui ¿ vi for 2 ¿ i ¿ m - 1. Paths with equal length {Pi}i=1 n from a to b are mutually independent if they are pairwisely independent. Let u and v be two distinct vertices of a bipartite graph G, and let I be a positive integer length, dG(u,v) ¿ I ¿ |V(G) - 1| with (I - dG(u,v)) being even. We say that the pair of vertices u, v is (m, l)-mutually independent bipanconnected if there exist m mutually independent paths {Pi l}i=1 m with length I from u to v. In this paper, we explore yet another strong property of the hypercubes. We prove that every pair of vertices u and v in the n-dimensional hypercube, with dQn (u, v) ¿ n - 1, is (n - 1, l)-mutually independent bipanconnected for every I, dQn (u, v) ¿ I ¿ |V(Qn) - 1| with (I - dQn (u, v)) being even. As for dQn(u,v) ¿ n - 2, it is also (n - 1,l)-mutually independent bipanconnected if I ¿ dQn(u,v) + 2, and is only (Z,Z)-mutually independent bipanconnected if I = dQn(u,v).
