What's the general rule for constructing such graphs? I mean actually drawing it on paper.
In summary, an n-cube graph is a representation of an n-dimensional cube using binary digits and is also known as a hypercube graph. It can be represented as a bipartite graph, where the vertices are divided into two sets, and the edges connect vertices from different sets that differ by one binary digit. This allows for a better understanding and visualization of the properties of n-cube graphs. However, this representation has limitations, such as only being applicable to graphs with a maximum of two dimensions and potentially not capturing all the properties accurately.

Start with the 1-cube, two points: and label them A and B. Now create 2 copies of the 1-cube and place A's and B's before each points label on the top and bottom copies, respectfully. Like this:
Also connect the points that have the same label other than the first letter (dashed-line in pic). And so on... Color the graph according to the first letter (or last).

FAQ: Drawing an n-cube graph as bipartite
1. What is an n-cube graph?
An n-cube graph, also known as a hypercube graph, is a type of graph that represents the vertices and edges of an n-dimensional cube. It is called an n-cube because it has n dimensions, with each vertex representing a different combination of binary digits (0s and 1s).
2. How is an n-cube graph represented?
An n-cube graph can be represented as a bipartite graph, where the vertices are divided into two sets, with each set representing a different dimension. The edges connect vertices from different sets that differ by only one binary digit, creating a cube-like structure. This representation is useful for visualizing and understanding the properties of n-cube graphs.
3. What is a bipartite graph?
A bipartite graph is a type of graph where the vertices can be divided into two sets, such that all edges connect vertices from different sets. This means that there are no edges between vertices within the same set. Bipartite graphs are commonly used to represent relationships between two different types of objects or entities.
4. Why is drawing an n-cube graph as bipartite useful?
Drawing an n-cube graph as bipartite can help us visualize the structure and properties of the graph more easily. It also allows us to see the connections between vertices from different dimensions more clearly. This representation can also be used to analyze and solve problems related to n-cube graphs more efficiently.
5. Are there any limitations to drawing an n-cube graph as bipartite?
One limitation of drawing an n-cube graph as bipartite is that it can only be used for graphs with a maximum of two dimensions. This means that it cannot be used to represent higher-dimensional graphs, which may require more complex visualizations. Additionally, the bipartite representation may not capture all the properties and relationships of the n-cube graph accurately.
