Existence of 3-regular subgraphs in Cartesian product of cycles

Let G be a graph obtained by taking the Cartesian product of finitely many cycles. It is known that G is bipancyclic, that is, G contains cycles of every even length from 4 to |V(G)|. We extend this result for the existence of 3-regular subgraphs in G. We prove that G contains a 3-regular, 2-connect...
