In~\cite[Section 4]{DBLP:conf/secrypt/CouchotHGWB14},
we have presented a general scheme which generates

For instance, the iteration graph $\Gamma(f^*)$
(given in Figure~\ref{fig:iteration:f*})
is the $3$-cube in which the Hamiltonian cycle

Moreover, if all the transitions have the same probability ($\frac{1}{n}$),
Let us consider now a ${\mathsf{N}}$-cube where an Hamiltonian
cycle is removed.
Let $f$ be the corresponding function.

\begin{proof}
There is an arc $(x,y)$ in the
graph $\Gamma_{\{b\}}(f)$ if and only if $M^b_{xy}$ is positive
where $M$ is the Markov matrix of $\Gamma(f)$.
It has been shown in~\cite[Lemma 3]{bcgr11:ip} that $M$ is regular.

This section ends with the idea of removing a Hamiltonian cycle in the
$\mathsf{N}$-cube.
In such a context, the Hamiltonian cycle is equivalent to a Gray code.
