Identifying k -vertex-disjoint paths that cover all vertices in the underlying graph of an interconnected network is a key challenge in parallel processing. This problem is classified as the paired or the unpaired k -disjoint path cover problem. In 2024, Dvořák and Gu (Theoretical Computer Science, 986 (2024) 114327) showed that there exist two disjoint paths forming a partition of the fault-free vertices of the burnt pancake graph even if the graph contains at most n − 4 faulty elements (vertices or edges) and they proposed an open problem: is it possible to improve the upper bound n − 4 to n − 3 ? In this paper, we provide a positive answer to this problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
