Mutual and total mutual visibility in hypercube-like graphs

Let G be a graph and X⊆V(G). Then, vertices x and y of G are X-visible if there exists a shortest x,y-path where no internal vertices belong to X. The set X is a mutual-visibility set of G if every two vertices of X are X-visible, while X is a total mutual-visibility set if any two vertices from V(G) are X-visible. The cardinality of a largest mutual-visibility set (resp. total mutual-visibility set) is the mutual-visibility number (resp. total mutual-visibility number) μ(G) (resp. μt(G)) of G. It is known that computing μ(G) is an NP-complete problem, as well as μt(G). In this paper, we study the (total) mutual-visibility in hypercube-like networks (namely, hypercubes, Fibonacci cubes, cube-connected cycles, and butterflies). Concerning computing μ(G), we provide approximation algorithms for hypercubes, Fibonacci cubes and cube-connected cycles, while we give an exact formula for butterflies. Concerning computing μt(G) (in the literature, already studied in hypercubes), whereas we obtain exact formulae for both cube-connected cycles and butterflies.
