A graph G is panconnected if, for any two distinct vertices x and y of G, it contains an [x, y]-path of length l for each integer l satisfying d G (x,y)⩽l⩽∣V(G)∣−1, where d G (x,y) denotes the distance between vertices x and y in G, and V(G) denotes the vertex set of G. For insight into the concept of panconnectedness, we propose a more refined property, namely panpositionable panconnectedness. Let x, y, and z be any three distinct vertices in a graph G. Then G is said to be panpositionably panconnected if for any d G (x,z)⩽l 1 ⩽∣V(G)∣−d G (y,z)−1, it contains a path P such that x is the beginning vertex of P, z is the (l 1 +1)th vertex of P, and y is the (l 1 +l 2 +1)th vertex of P for any integer l 2 satisfying d G (y,z)⩽l 2 ⩽∣V(G)∣−l 1 −1. The augmented cube, proposed by Choudum and Sunitha [6] to be an enhancement of the n-cube Q n , not only retains some attractive characteristics of Q n but also possesses many distinguishing properties of which Q n lacks. In this paper, we investigate the panpositionable panconnectedness with respect to the class of augmented cubes. As a consequence, many topological properties related to cycle and path embedding in augmented cubes, such as pancyclicity, panconnectedness, and panpositionable Hamiltonicity, can be drawn from our results.
