β¦ Synopsis
We study the generating functions for the number of stable sets of all cardinalities, in the case of graphs which are Cartesian products by paths, cycles, or trees. Explicit results are given for products by cliques. Algorithms based on matrix products are derived for grids, cylinders, toruses and hypercubes.

## Abstract It is shown that the Cartesian product of two nontrivial connected graphs admits a nowhereβzero 4βflow. If both factors are bipartite, then the product admits a nowhereβzero 3βflow. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 43: 93β98, 2003
## Given a Cartesian product G of nontrivial connected graphs G i and the n-dimensional base B de Bruijn graph D = D B (n), it is investigated whether or not G is a spanning subgraph of D. Special attention is given to graphs G 1 Γ β’ β’ β’ Γ G m which are relevant for parallel computing, namely, to
We prove uniqueness of decomposition of a finite metric space into a product of metric spaces for a wide class of product operations. In particular, this gives the positive answer to the long-standing question of S. Ulam: 'If U Γ U V Γ V with U , V compact metric spaces, will then U and V be isometr
