- Description:
- The concept of the $k$-pairable graphs was introduced by Zhibo Chen (On $k$-pairable graphs, Discrete Mathematics 287 (2004), 11–15) as an extension of hypercubes and graphs with an antipodal isomorphism. In the same paper, Chen also introduced a new graph parameter $p(G)$, called the pair length of a graph $G$, as the maximum $k$ such that $G$ is $k$-pairable and $p(G)=0$ if $G$ is not $k$-pairable for any positive integer $k$. In this paper, we answer the two open questions raised by Chen in the case that the graphs involved are restricted to be trees. That is, we characterize the trees $G$ with $p(G)=1$ and prove that $p(G \square H)=p(G)+p(H)$ when both $G$ and $H$ are trees.
