Abstract
The bisection width is the minimum number of edges required to split the vertex set of a graph into two (nearly) equal parts. Monien and Preis proved that the bisection width of a cubic graph with n nodes is bounded above by n∕6+o(n). Here we show that every cubic graph of even order n≥16 has bisection width less than n∕2, thus these graphs violate the even cut condition (ECC). All edge-minimal subcubic graphs satisfying ECC are also described. The bisection width is a reference parameter to compare networks for parallel architectures; ECC is a property necessary for bottleneck free all-to-all communications.
