The Pairing-Hamiltonian property in graph prisms
Abstract
Let be a graph of even order, and consider as the complete graph on the same vertex set as . A perfect matching of is called a pairing of . If for every pairing of it is possible to find a perfect matching of such that is a Hamiltonian cycle of , then is said to have the Pairing-Hamiltonian property, or PH-property, for short. In 2007, Fink [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 97] proved that for every , the -dimensional hypercube has the PH-property, thus proving a conjecture posed by Kreweras in 1996. In this paper we extend Fink's result by proving that given a graph having the PH-property, the prism graph of has the PH-property as well. Moreover, if is a connected graph, we show that there exists a positive integer such that the -prism of a graph has the PH-property for all .
