The k-ary n-cube is one of the most popular interconnection networks for parallel and distributed systems. A linear forest in a graph is a subgraph, each component of which is a path. In this paper, we investigate the existence of Hamiltonian cycles passing through linear forests in the k-ary n-cube. For any n≥2 and k≥3, we show that the k-ary n-cube admits a Hamiltonian cycle passing through a linear forest with at most 2n−1 edges.
