For $0\leq \ell <k$, a Hamiltonian $\ell$-cycle in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is a cyclic ordering of the vertices of $H$ in which the edges are segments of length $k$ and every two consecutive edges overlap in exactly $\ell$ vertices. We…

We study the following generalization of the Hamiltonian cycle problem: Given integers $a,b$ and graph $G$, does there exist a closed walk in $G$ that visits every vertex at least $a$ times and at most $b$ times? Equivalently, does there…
The normaliser problem takes as input subgroups $G$ and $H$ of the symmetric group $S_n$, and asks one to compute $N_G(H)$. The fastest known algorithm for this problem is simply exponential, whilst more efficient algorithms are known for…

An upper bound for the number of Hamiltonian cycles of symmetric diagraphs is established first in this paper, which is tighter than the famous Minc's bound and the Br$\acute{e}$gman's bound. A transformation on graphs is proposed, so that…
A hamiltonian cycle system (HCS, for short) of a graph $\Gamma$ is a partition of the edges of $\Gamma$ into hamiltonian cycles. A HCS is cyclic when it is invariant under a cyclic permutation of all the vertices of $\Gamma$; the existence…
