Decomposing the Complete Graph Into Hamiltonian Paths (Cycles) and 3-Stars
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2020 Let H be a graph. A decomposition of H is a set of edge-disjoint subgraphs of H whose union is H. A Hamiltonian path (respectively, cycle) of H is a path (respectively, cycle) that contains every vertex of H exactly once.

Hamiltonian Normal Cayley Graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2019 A variant of the Lovász Conjecture on hamiltonian paths states that every finite connected Cayley graph contains a hamiltonian cycle. Given a finite group G and a connection set S, the Cayley graph Cay(G, S) will be called normal if for every g ∈ G we ...

Enforced hamiltonian cycles in generalized dodecahedra
Electronic Journal of Graph Theory and Applications, 2013 The H-force number of a hamiltonian graph G is the smallest number k with the property that there exists a set W ⊆ V (G) with |W| = k such that each cycle passing through all vertices of W is a hamiltonian cycle.

The parity Hamiltonian cycle problem
Discrete Mathematics, 2018 Motivated by a relaxed notion of the celebrated Hamiltonian cycle, this paper investigates its variant, parity Hamiltonian cycle (PHC): A PHC of a graph is a closed walk which visits every vertex an odd number of times, where we remark that the walk may use an edge more than once. First, we give a complete characterization of the graphs which have PHCs,

CONTRACTIBLE HAMILTONIAN CYCLES IN POLYHEDRAL MAPS [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics, Algorithms and Applications, 2012 We present a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a contractible Hamiltonian cycle in the edge graph of equivelar maps on surfaces. We also present an algorithm to find such cycles (if they exist). This is further generalized and shown to hold for more general maps.

On the H-Force Number of Hamiltonian Graphs and Cycle Extendability
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2017 The H-force number h(G) of a hamiltonian graph G is the smallest cardinality of a set A ⊆ V (G) such that each cycle containing all vertices of A is hamiltonian. In this paper a lower and an upper bound of h(G) is given.

A Note Concerning Hamilton Cycles in Some Classes of Grid Graphs
Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences, 2013 A graph G is called hamiltonian if it contains a Hamilton cycle, i.e. a cycle containing all vertices. Deciding whether a given graph has a Hamilton cycle is an NP-complete problem. But, it is a polynomial problem within some special graph classes.

Removable matchings and hamiltonian cycles
Discrete Mathematics, 2009 The authors show the following two results: {\parindent=5mm \begin{itemize}\item[1)]Let \(G\) be a graph of order \(n\geq 4k+3\) with \(\sigma_2 (G)\geq n\) and let \(F\) be a matching of size \(k\) in \(G\) such that \(G-F\) is 2-connected. Then \(G-F\) is hamiltonian or \(G\cong K_2 +(K_2\cup K_{n-4})\) or \(G\cong \bar{K_2} +(K_2\cup K_{n-4 ...

Hamiltonian cycles and subsets of discounted occupational measures
, 2019 We study a certain polytope arising from embedding the Hamiltonian cycle problem in a discounted Markov decision process. The Hamiltonian cycle problem can be reduced to finding particular extreme points of a certain polytope associated with the input ...

Hamiltonian paths on Platonic graphs
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2004 We develop a combinatorial method to show that the dodecahedron graph has, up to rotation and reflection, a unique Hamiltonian cycle. Platonic graphs with this property are called topologically uniquely Hamiltonian. The same method is used to demonstrate
