We solve the general problem of visiting all the $2^ k $ nodes of a $ k $-dimensional
hypercube by using a polygonal chain that has minimum link-length, and we show that this
optimal value is given by $ h (2, k):= 3\cdot 2^{k-2} $ if and only if $ k\in\mathbb {N}-\{0, 1\} $.
Furthermore, for any $ k $ above one, we constructively prove that it is possible to visit once
and only once all the aforementioned nodes, $ H (2, k):=\{\{0, 1\}\times\{0,
1\}\times\dots\times\{0, 1\}\}\subset\mathbb {R}^ k $, with a cycle (ie, a closed path) having�…
