In light of Lov\'{a}sz's longstanding question on the existence of Hamilton paths in vertex-transitive graphs, this paper considers a natural variant: what if vertex-transitivity is relaxed, yet a high degree of symmetry--specifically…
We consider a direct conversion of the, classical, set splitting problem to the directed Hamiltonian cycle problem. A constructive procedure for such a conversion is given, and it is shown that the input size of the converted instance is a…
In this paper we define a construct called a time-graph. A complete time-graph of order n is the cartesian product of a complete graph with n vertices and a linear graph with n vertices. A time-graph of order n is given by a subset of the…
The natural infinite analogue of a (finite) Hamilton cycle is a two-way-infinite Hamilton path (connected spanning 2-valent subgraph). Although it is known that every connected $2k$-valent infinite circulant graph has a two-way-infinite…
Methods to determine the existence of Hamiltonian Cycles in graphs have been extensively studied. However, little research has been done following cases when no Hamiltonian Cycle exists. Let a vertex be "unbounded" if it is visited more…
The notion of treewidth, introduced by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal Graph Minors series, turned out to have tremendous impact on graph algorithmics. Many hard computational problems on graphs turn out to be efficiently solvable in…
In this paper, we introduce a so-called Multistage graph Simple Path (MSP) problem and show that the Hamilton Circuit (HC) problem can be polynomially reducible to the MSP problem. To solve the MSP problem, we propose a polynomial algorithm…
We prove that, for large $n$, every $3$-connected $D$-regular graph on $n$ vertices with $D \geq n/4$ is Hamiltonian. This is best possible and confirms a conjecture posed independently by Bollob\'as and H\"aggkvist in the 1970s. The proof…
Deciding whether a graph can be embedded in a grid using only unit-length edges is NP-complete, even when restricted to binary trees. However, it is not difficult to devise a number of graph classes for which the problem is polynomial, even…
A perfect matching cut is a perfect matching that is also a cutset, or equivalently a perfect matching containing an even number of edges on every cycle. The corresponding algorithmic problem, Perfect Matching Cut, is known to be…
We introduce and study the complexity of Path Packing. Given a graph $G$ and a list of paths, the task is to embed the paths edge-disjoint in $G$. This generalizes the well known Hamiltonian-Path problem. Since Hamiltonian Path is…
A Dynamic Programming based polynomial worst case time and space algorithm is described for computing Hamiltonian Path of a directed graph. Complexity constructive proofs along with a tested C++ implementation are provided as well. The…
We study the parameterized complexity of two classic problems on directed graphs: Hamiltonian Cycle and its generalization {\sc Longest Cycle}. Since 2008, it is known that Hamiltonian Cycle is W[1]-hard when parameterized by directed…
In order to find Hamiltonian cycle, algorithm should find edges that creates a Hamiltonian cycle. Higher number of edges creates more possibilities to check to solve the problem. Algorithm rests on analysis of original graph and opposite…
A famous conjecture of Lov\'asz states that every connected vertex-transitive graph contains a Hamilton path. In this article we confirm the conjecture in the case that the graph is dense and sufficiently large. In fact, we show that such…
We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path or cycle with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. We study the complexity for graph width parameters for which the ordinary problems…
We first prove a one-to-one correspondence between finding Hamiltonian cycles in a cubic planar graphs and finding trees with specific properties in dual graphs. Using this information, we construct an exact algorithm for finding…
Investigating a problem of B. Mohar, we show that every one-ended Hamiltonian cubic graph with end degree 3 contains a second Hamilton cycle. We also construct two examples showing that this result does not extend to give a third Hamilton…
This note summarizes the state of what is known about the tractability of the problem ModPath, which asks if an input undirected graph contains a simple st-path whose length satisfies modulo constraints. We also consider the problem…
We consider the existence of patterned Hamilton cycles in randomly colored random graphs. Given a string $\Pi$ over a set of colors $\{1,2,\ldots,r\}$, we say that a Hamilton cycle is $\Pi$-colored if the pattern repeats at intervals of…
