A Note on Construction of Dual-Hamiltonian Graphs

Combinatorics 2019-09-25 v3

Abstract

A connected simple graph is said dual-hamiltonian if its vertex set has a 22-coloring such that each color class induces a tree. We call such a coloring a hamiltonian coloring. We prove that if GG is a graph with a certain type of hamiltonian coloring and TT is a tree, then G×TG\times T is also dual-hamiltonian having the same certain type of hamiltonian coloring. This result is used to constructed a class of dual-hamiltonian graphs, which includes the hypercubes and other multidimensional grids.
