Recently, research on parallel processing systems is very active, and many complex topologies have been proposed. A burnt pancake graph is one such topology. In this paper, we prove that a faulty burnt pancake graph with degree n has a fault-free Hamiltonian cycle if the number of the faulty elements is n–2 or less, and it has a fault-free Hamiltonian path between any pair of nonfaulty nodes if the number of the faulty elements is n 3 or less.

Key Words: signed permutation, interconnection network, routing algorithm, parallel processing
