We described a simple algorithm running in linear time for each fixed constant $k$, that either establishes that the pathwidth of a graph $G$ is greater than $k$, or finds a path-decomposition of $G$ of width at most $O(2^{k})$. This…

Back in the Eighties, Heath showed that every 3-planar graph is subhamiltonian and asked whether this result can be extended to a class of graphs of degree greater than three. In this paper we affirmatively answer this question for the…

This introduction to graphs and graph algebras provides the optimal bound for the number of all paths of length $k$ in a graph with $N\geq k$ edges and no loops. Our proof relies on a construction of a number of terminating algorithms that…

In this paper, we investigate some relations between the invariants (including vertex and edge connectivity and forwarding indices) of a graph and its Laplacian eigenvalues. In addition, we present a sufficient condition for the existence…

It was shown by Kutnar, Maru\v si\v c and Zhang in 2012 that every connected vertex-transitive graph of order $10p$, where $p$ is a prime and $p\ne 7$, contains a Hamilton path, except for graphs $X$ arising from the action of PSL$(2, s^m)$…

In this paper, we study Dirac-type theorems for an inhomogenous random graph (G) whose edge probabilities are not necessarily all the same. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of Hamiltonian paths and perfect matchings, in…

The Hamiltonian cycle polynomial can be evaluated to count the number of Hamiltonian cycles in a graph. It can also be viewed as a list of all spanning cycles of length $n$. We adopt the latter perspective and present a pair of original…

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…

We discuss several classical results about long paths and Hamilton cycles in random graphs and present accessible versions of their proofs, relying on the Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm and the notion of boosters.

We study the Hamilton cycle problem with input a random graph G=G(n,p) in two settings. In the first one, G is given to us in the form of randomly ordered adjacency lists while in the second one we are given the adjacency matrix of G. In…

We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. This problem is known as Partially Ordered Hamiltonian Path Problem (POHPP). Here, we study the complexity…

A path (cycle) in a $2$-edge-colored multigraph is alternating if no two consecutive edges have the same color. The problem of determining the existence of alternating Hamiltonian paths and cycles in $2$-edge-colored multigraphs is an…

Faulty networks are useful because link or node faults can occur in a network. This paper examines the Hamiltonian properties of hypercubes under certain conditional faulty edges. Let consider the hypercube \( Q_n \), for \( n \geq 5 \) and…
