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…

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…
In this paper we present the first deterministic polynomial time algorithm for determining the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle and finding a Hamiltonian cycle in general graphs. Our algorithm can also solve the Hamiltonian path problem in…
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…

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…
We train a small message-passing graph neural network to predict Hamiltonian cycles on Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs in a critical regime. It outperforms existing hand-crafted heuristics after about 2.5 hours of training on a single GPU.…
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…
We study the Hamiltonian path problem in C-shaped grid graphs, and present the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Hamiltonian path between two given vertices in these graphs. We also give a linear-time algorithm for…
We prove new lower bounds on the crossing number of a complete graphs assuming that it is drawn in such a way that it contains a Hamiltonian cycle with no crossings.
A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph is a closed path which visits each of the vertices once and only once. In this article, Hamiltonian cycles on planar random lattices are considered. The generating function for the number of Hamiltonian cycles…
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…
Visibility graph of a simple polygon is a graph with the same vertex set in which there is an edge between a pair of vertices if and only if the segment through them lies completely inside the polygon. Each pair of adjacent vertices on the…
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…
