Abstract
Finding a specific subgraph of a given graph, if it exists, is an NP-Complete problem. The existence of a spanning cactus , and finding the minimum spanning cactus in a graph are two such problems. In recent times, the problems have received importance because of its applications in several real life problems. In this short note, we show that there always exists a spanning cactus in a 3 X3 X3 grid graph. The proof of this result is by construction of a spanning cactus of the graph.
Keywords: cactus, minimum spanning cactus, minimum spanning tree, Grid graph, 3-dimensional Grid Graph, NP-Completeness
