Abstract
Trotter and Erd\"os found conditions for when a directed grid graph on a torus is Hamiltonian. We consider the analogous graphs on a two-holed torus, and study their Hamiltonicity. We find an algorithm to determine the Hamiltonicity of one of these graphs and an algorithm to find the number of diagonals, which are sets of vertices that force the directions of edges in any Hamiltonian cycle. We also show that there is a periodicity pattern in the graphs' Hamiltonicities if one of the sides of the grid is fixed; and we completely classify which graphs are Hamiltonian in the cases where , , the graph has diagonal, or the graph has diagonal.
