   <dc:description>A generalization of both the hierarchical product and the Cartesian&#xd;
product of graphs is introduced and some of its properties are&#xd;
studied. We call it the generalized hierarchical product. In fact,&#xd;
the obtained graphs turn out to be subgraphs of the Cartesian&#xd;
product of the corresponding factors. Thus, some well-known&#xd;
properties of this product, such as a good connectivity, reduced&#xd;
mean distance, radius and diameter, simple routing algorithms and&#xd;
some optimal communication protocols, are inherited by the&#xd;
generalized hierarchical product. Besides some of these properties,&#xd;
in this paper we study the spectrum, the existence of Hamiltonian&#xd;
cycles, the chromatic number and index, and the connectivity of the&#xd;
generalized hierarchical product.</dc:description>
