On some properties of antipodal partial cubes. (English) Zbl 1439.05072

Summary: We prove that an antipodal bipartite graph is a partial cube if and only it is interval monotone. Several characterizations of the principal cycles of an antipodal partial cube are given. We also prove that an antipodal partial cube \(G\) is a prism over an even cycle if and only if its order is equal to \(4(\operatorname{diam}(G) - 1)\), and that the girth of an antipodal partial cube is less than its diameter whenever it is not a cycle and its diameter is at least equal to 6.
