Feder–Subi conjecture on antipodal paths with few colour changes
Feder–Subi conjecture on antipodal paths with few colour changes
Let ) be the -dimensional hypercube, with edge set , and consider a 2-colouring of its edges. Two vertices are antipodal if they differ in every coordinate.
Feder–Subi conjecture. Every 2-colouring of contains a path between some pair of antipodal vertices which changes colour at most once.
This strengthens Norine's conjecture, which asks only for a monochromatic path between some pair of antipodal vertices. The conjecture was proved in according to the supplied status evidence.
