This work provides a solution for the case $\ell=2$ and solves a relaxed version of the problem for general values of $\ell$, by constructing cycle factors for those instances.
A constant-time algorithm for middle levels Gray codes

• 2017
This work presents an algorithm for computing a middle levels Gray code in optimal time and space: each new set in the Gray code is generated in time $${{\mathcal {O}}}(1)$$ O ( 1 ) on average, and the required space is  $${{\ mathcal { O}}}(n) O ( n ) . Combinatorial Gray codes-an updated survey This survey provides a comprehensive picture of the state-of-the-art of the research on combinatorial Gray codes and gives an update on Savage’s influential survey, incorporating many more recent developments. Space-Optimal Quasi-Gray Codes with Logarithmic Read Complexity • Computer Science ESA • 2018 This paper presents construction of quasi-Gray codes of dimension n and length 3^n over the ternary alphabet with worst-case read complexity O(log n) and write complexity 2 and significantly improves on previously known constructions and breaks the Omega(n) worst- case barrier for space-optimal (non-redundant) quasi- Gray codes.

On the central levels problem • Computer Science ICALP • 2020 A Hamilton cycle is constructed through the n-dimensional hypercube that contains the symmetric chain decomposition constructed by Greene and Kleitman in the 1970s, and a loopless algorithm is provided for computing the corresponding Gray code. Optimal Quasi-Gray Codes: The Alphabet Matters. • Computer Science • 2017 The results significantly improve on previously known constructions and for the odd-size alphabets the authors break the \Omega(n) worst-case barrier for space-optimal (non-redundant) quasi-Gray codes with constant number of writes. A short proof of the middle levels theorem • Mathematics ArXiv • 2017 A new proof of the well-known middle levels conjecture is presented, which is much shorter and more accessible than the original proof. Optimal Quasi-Gray Codes: Does the Alphabet Matter? • Computer Science ArXiv • 2017 The results significantly improve on previously known constructions and for the odd-size alphabets the worst-case barrier for space-optimal (non-redundant) quasi-Gray codes with constant number of writes is broken. On Hamilton cycles in highly symmetric graphs Some of the recent results on Hamilton cycles in various families of highly symmetric graphs are surveyed, including the solution of the well-known middle levels conjecture, and several far-ranging generalizations of it that were proved subsequently. ## References SHOWING 1-10 OF 63 REFERENCES Monotone Gray Codes and the Middle Levels Problem • Mathematics J.
