Cartesian Products of Graphs as Subgraphs of De Bruijn Graphs of Dimension at Least Three

Given a Cartesian product G=G_1timesldotstimes G_m;(mgeq2) of nontrivial connected graphs G_i and the base d, dimension D de Bruijn graph B(d,D), it is investigated under which conditions G is (or is not) a subgraph of B(d,D). We present a complete solution of this problem for the case Dgeq4. For D=3, we give partial results including a complete solution for the case that G is a torus, i.e., G is the Cartesian product of cycles.
