If $G$ is a more than one tough graph on $n$ vertices with $\delta\ge \frac{n}{2}-a$ for a given $a>0$ and $n$ is large enough then $G$ is hamiltonian.
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…
A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph is a closed path that visits each site once and only once. I study a field theoretic representation for the number of Hamiltonian cycles for arbitrary graphs. By integrating out quadratic fluctuations around…
In the random hypergraph H=H(n,p;3) each possible triple appears independently with probability p. A loose Hamilton cycle can be described as a sequence of edges {x_i,y_i,x_{i+1}\} for i=1,2,...,n/2. We prove that there exists an absolute…
Finding the number 2H6 of directed Hamiltonian cycles in 6-cube is problem 43 in Section 7.2.1.1 of Knuth's ' The Art of Computer Programming'; various proposed estimates are surveyed below. We computed exact value:…
Hakimi, Schmeichel, and Thomassen in 1979 conjectured that every $4$-connected planar triangulation $G$ on $n$ vertices has at least $2(n-2)(n-4)$ Hamiltonian cycles, with equality if and only if $G$ is a double wheel. In this paper, we…
Let $G$ be a graph obtained as the union of some $n$-vertex graph $H_n$ with minimum degree $\delta(H_n)\geq\alpha n$ and a $d$-dimensional random geometric graph $G^d(n,r)$. We investigate under which conditions for $r$ the graph $G$ will…
We show that every $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V,E)$ with $|V(H)|=n$ and minimum pair degree at least $(4/5+o(1))n$ contains a squared Hamiltonian cycle. This may be regarded as a first step towards a hypergraph version of the P\'osa-Seymour…
A $k$-graph system $\textbf{H}=\{H_i\}_{i\in[m]}$ is a family of not necessarily distinct $k$-graphs on the same $n$-vertex set $V$ and a $k$-graph $H$ on $V$ is said to be $\textbf{H}$-transversal provided that there exists an injection…
A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph is a closed path that visits every vertex once and only once. It has been difficult to count the number of Hamiltonian cycles on regular lattices with periodic boundary conditions, e.g. lattices on a torus,…
The decision problems of the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle or of a Hamiltonian path in a given graph, and of the existence of a truth assignment satisfying a given Boolean formula $C$, are well-known {\it NP}-complete problems. Here we…
Every graph of size $q$ (the number of edges) and minimum degree $\delta$ is hamiltonian if $q\le\delta^2+\delta-1$. The result is sharp.
We initiate the study of Hamiltonian cycles up to symmetries of the underlying graph. Our focus lies on the extremal case of Hamiltonian-transitive graphs, i.e., Hamiltonian graphs where, for every pair of Hamiltonian cycles, there is a…
A Hamilton cycle in a directed graph $G$ is a cycle that passes through every vertex of $G$. A Hamiltonian decomposition of $G$ is a partition of its edge set into disjoint Hamilton cycles. In the late $60$s Kelly conjectured that every…
It is proved that if $G$ is a $t$-tough graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ with $t>1$ then either $G$ has a cycle of length at least $\min\{n,2\delta+4\}$ or $G$ is the Petersen graph.
We study the distribution of cycle lengths in models of nonuniform random permutations with cycle weights. We identify several regimes. Depending on the weights, the length of typical cycles grows like the total number $n$ of elements, or a…
A Hamilton cycle in a graph $\Gamma$ is a cycle passing through every vertex of $\Gamma$. A Hamiltonian decomposition of $\Gamma$ is a partition of its edge set into disjoint Hamilton cycles. One of the oldest results in graph theory is…
In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for the existence of a Hamilton cycle, which is applicable to a wide variety of graphs, including relatively sparse graphs. In contrast to previous criteria, ours is based on only two…
In this paper, we investigate the well-studied Hamiltonian cycle problem (HCYCLE), and present an interesting dichotomy result on split graphs. T. Akiyama et al. (1980) have shown that HCYCLE is NP-complete in planar bipartite graphs with…
We prove that if $G$ is a $k$-partite graph on $n$ vertices in which all of the parts have order at most $n/r$ and every vertex is adjacent to at least a $1-1/r+o(1)$ proportion of the vertices in every other part, then $G$ contains the…
