We extend results of Brewster and Graves for switching $m$-edge coloured graphs with respect to a cyclic group to switching $(m, n)$-mixed graphs with respect to an Abelian group. In particular, we establish the existence of a $(m,…

Supergrid graphs contain grid graphs and triangular grid graphs as their subgraphs. The Hamiltonian cycle and path problems for general supergrid graphs were known to be NP-complete. A graph is called Hamiltonian if it contains a…

Let $G$ be a graph whose edges are each assigned one of the $m$-colours $1, 2, \ldots, m$, and let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $S_m$. The operation of switching at a vertex $x$ with respect $\pi \in \Gamma$ permutes the colours of the edges…

The cycle space of a graph $G$, denoted $C(G)$, is a vector space over ${\mathbb F}_2$, spanned by all incidence vectors of edge-sets of cycles of $G$. If $G$ has $n$ vertices, then $C_n(G)$ denotes the subspace of $C(G)$, spanned by the…

Given a graph $G$ and an $r$-edge-colouring $\chi$ on $E(G)$, a Hamilton cycle $H\subset G$ is said to have $t$ colour-bias if $H$ contains $n/r+t$ edges of the same colour in $\chi$. Freschi, Hyde, Lada and Treglown showed every…

Finding Hamitonian Cycles in square grid graphs is a well studied and important questions. More recent work has extended these results to triangular and hexagonal grids, as well as further restricted versions. In this paper, we examine a…

We present a matching and LP based heuristic algorithm that decides graph non-Hamiltonicity. Each of the $n!$ Hamilton cycles in a complete directed graph on $n+1$ vertices corresponds with each of the $n!$ $n$-permutation matrices $P$,…

We study Hamiltonicity in graphs obtained as the union of a deterministic $n$-vertex graph $H$ with linear degrees and a $d$-dimensional random geometric graph $G^d(n,r)$, for any $d\geq1$. We obtain an asymptotically optimal bound on the…

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…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle passing through every vertex. One of the cornerstone results in the theory of random graphs asserts that for edge probability $p \gg \frac{\log n}{n}$, the random graph $G(n,p)$ is…

In light of Lov\'{a}sz's longstanding question on the existence of Hamilton paths in vertex-transitive graphs, this paper considers a natural variant: what if vertex-transitivity is relaxed, yet a high degree of symmetry--specifically…

In 2007, Arkin et al. initiated a systematic study of the complexity of the Hamiltonian cycle problem on square, triangular, or hexagonal grid graphs, restricted to polygonal, thin, superthin, degree-bounded, or solid grid graphs. They…

For an arrangement $\mathcal{H}$ of hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ through the origin, a region is a connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\mathcal{H}$. The graph of regions $G(\mathcal{H})$ has a vertex for every region, and an edge…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a bipartite graph embedded in a plane (or $n$-holed torus). Two subgraphs of $G$ differ by a {\it $Z$-transformation} if their symmetric difference consists of the boundary edges of a single face---and if each subgraph…

We establish a relation between two uniform models of random $k$-graphs (for constant $k \ge 3$) on $n$ labeled vertices: $H(n,m)$, the random $k$-graph with exactly $m$ edges, and $H(n,d)$, the random $d$-regular $k$-graph. By extending to…

For a fixed graph $H$, the reconfiguration problem for $H$-colourings (i.e. homomorphisms to $H$) asks: given a graph $G$ and two $H$-colourings $\varphi$ and $\psi$ of $G$, does there exist a sequence $f_0,\dots,f_m$ of $H$-colourings such…
