We present an algorithm CRE, which either finds a Hamilton cycle in a graph $G$ or determines that there is no such cycle in the graph. The algorithm's expected running time over input distribution $G\sim G(n,p)$ is $(1+o(1))n/p$, the…

A Hamiltonian decomposition of a regular graph is a partition of its edge set into Hamiltonian cycles. The problem of finding edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in a given regular graph has many applications in combinatorial optimization and…

In this paper, we consider a random geometric graph (RGG)~\(G\) on~\(n\) nodes with adjacency distance~\(r_n\) just below the Hamiltonicity threshold and construct Hamiltonian cycles using additional edges called bridges. The bridges by…

Finding a Hamiltonian cycle in a given graph is computationally challenging, and in general remains so even when one is further given one Hamiltonian cycle in the graph and asked to find another. In fact, no significantly faster algorithms…

We consider Hamilton cycles in the random digraph $D_{n,m}$ where the orientation of edges follows a pattern other than the trivial orientation in which the edges are oriented in the same direction as we traverse the cycle. We show that if…

Given a finite abelian group $G$, consider the complete graph on the set of all elements of $G$. Find a Hamiltonian cycle in this graph and for each pair of consecutive vertices along the cycle compute their sum. What are the smallest and…

The Hamiltonian cycle problem in digraph is mapped into a matching cover bipartite graph. Based on this mapping, it is proved that determining existence a Hamiltonian cycle in graph is $O(n^3)$.

Let $\epsilon>0$. We consider the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian graph with $(1+\epsilon)n$ edges in the following controlled random graph process. Starting with the empty graph on $[n]$, at each round a set of $K=K(n)$ edges is…

We propose an improved algorithm for counting the number of Hamiltonian cycles in a directed graph. The basic idea of the method is sequential acceptance/rejection, which is successfully used in approximating the number of perfect matchings…

It has been shown that a global minimizer of a smooth determinant of a matrix function corresponds to the largest cycle of a graph. When it exists, this is a Hamiltonian cycle. Finding global minimizers even of a smooth function is a…

It is known for some time that a random graph $G(n,p)$ contains w.h.p. a Hamiltonian cycle if $p$ is larger than the critical value $p_{crit}= (\log n + \log \log n + \omega_n)/n$. The determination of a concrete Hamiltonian cycle is even…
