Abstract: Let G and H be graphs, with |V(H)|geq|V(G)|, and f:V(G)ightarrowV(H) a one to one map of their vertices. Let dilation(f)=maxdistH(f(x),f(y)):xyinE(G), where distH(v,w) is the distance between vertices v and w of H. Now let B(G,H) = minfdilation(f), over all such maps f. The parameter B(G,H) is a generalization of the classic and well studied "bandwidth" of G, defined as B(G,P(n)), where P(n) is the path on n points and n=|V(G)|. Let [a1imesa2imescdotsimesak] be the k-dimensional grid graph with integer values 1 through ai in the i'th coordinate. In this paper, we study B(G,H) in the case when G=[a1imesa2imescdotsimesak] and H is the hypercube Qn of dimension n=lceillog2(|V(G)|)ceil, the hypercube of smallest dimension having at least as many points as G. Our main result is that B( [a_{1} imes a_{2} imes cdots imes a_{k} ],Q_{n}) le 3k, provided aigeq222 for each 1leilek. For such G, the bound 3k improves on the previous best upper bound 4k+O(1). Our methods include an application of Knuth's result on two-way rounding and of the existence of spanning regular cyclic caterpillars in the hypercube.
