本质集的邻域并和图的哈密尔顿性

Let G be a graph. An independent set Y in G is called an essential independent set (or essential set for simplicity) if there is {Y1, Y2} 包含于Y such that dist (y1,y2)=2. In this paper, we use the technique of the vertex insertion on l-connected (l=k or k 1, k≥2) graphs to provide a unified proof for G to be hamiltonian, or hamiltonian-connected. The sufficient conditions are expressed an inequality on ∑i=1 K|N(Yi)| b|N(y0)| and n(Y) for each essential set Y={y0,y1,…,yk}, where b (1≤b≤k）is an integer,Yi={yi,yi-1,…,yi-(b-1}包含于Y\{y0} for i属于V（G):dist(v,Y)≤2}|.

Connected graphs as subgraphs of Cayley graphs: Conditions on Hamiltonicity

Let Γ be a connected simple graph, let V(Γ) and E(Γ) denote the vertex-set and the edge-set of Γ, respectively, and let n=|V(Γ)|. For 1≤i≤n, let e_i be the element of elementary abelian group which has 1 in the ith coordinate, and 0 in all other coordinates. Assume that V(Γ)={e_i∣1≤i≤n}. We define a set Ω by Ω={e_i+e_j∣{e_i,e_j}∈E(Γ)}, and let Cay_Γ denote the Cayley graph over with respect to Ω. It turns out that Cay_Γ contains Γ as an isometric subgraph. In this paper, the relations between the spectra of Γ and Cay_Γ are discussed. Some conditions on the existence of Hamilton paths and cycles in Γ are obtained.     

Long cycles and paths in distance graphs

For n∈N and D⊆N, the distance graph has vertex set {0,1,…,n−1} and edge set {ij∣0≤i,j≤n−1,|j−i|∈D}. Note that the important and very well-studied circulant graphs coincide with the regular distance graphs.A fundamental result concerning circulant graphs is that for these graphs, a simple greatest common divisor condition, their connectivity, and the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle are all equivalent. Our main result suitably extends this equivalence to distance graphs. We prove that for a finite set D of order at least 2, there is a constant c_D such that the greatest common divisor of the integers in D is 1 if and only if for every n, has a component of order at least n−c_D if and only if for every n≥c_D+3, has a cycle of order at least n−c_D. Furthermore, we discuss some consequences and variants of this result.     

Hamiltonicity and colorings of arrangement graphs

We study connectivity, Hamilton path and Hamilton cycle decomposition, 4-edge and 3-vertex coloring for geometric graphs arising from pseudoline (affine or projective) and pseudocircle (spherical) arrangements. While arrangements as geometric objects are well studied in discrete and computational geometry, their graph theoretical properties seem to have received little attention so far. In this paper we show that they provide well-structured examples of families of planar and projective-planar graphs with very interesting properties. Most prominently, spherical arrangements admit decompositions into two Hamilton cycles; this is a new addition to the relatively few families of 4-regular graphs that are known to have Hamiltonian decompositions. Other classes of arrangements have interesting properties as well: 4-connectivity, 3-vertex coloring or Hamilton paths and cycles. We show a number of negative results as well: there are projective arrangements which cannot be 3-vertex colored. A number of conjectures and open questions accompany our results.     

Hamiltonicity in vertex envelopes of plane cubic graphs

In this paper we study a graph operation which produces what we call the “vertex envelope” G^∗_V from a graph G. We apply it to plane cubic graphs and investigate the hamiltonicity of the resulting graphs, which are also cubic. To this end, we prove a result giving a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of hamiltonian cycles in the vertex envelopes of plane cubic graphs. We then use these conditions to identify graphs or classes of graphs whose vertex envelopes are either all hamiltonian or all non-hamiltonian, paying special attention to bipartite graphs. We also show that deciding if a vertex envelope is hamiltonian is NP-complete, and we provide a polynomial algorithm for deciding if a given cubic plane graph is a vertex envelope.     

A linear-time algorithm for the longest path problem in rectangular grid graphs

The longest path problem is a well-known NP-hard problem and so far it has been solved polynomially only for a few classes of graphs. In this paper, we give a linear-time algorithm for finding a longest path between any two given vertices in a rectangular grid graph.     

Maximal K3's and Hamiltonicity of 4‐connected claw‐free graphs

Let cl(G) denote Ryjá?ek's closure of a claw‐free graph G. In this article, we prove the following result. Let G be a 4‐connected claw‐free graph. Assume that G[N_G(T)] is cyclically 3‐connected if T is a maximal K₃ in G which is also maximal in cl(G). Then G is hamiltonian. This result is a common generalization of Kaiser et al.'s theorem [J Graph Theory 48(4) (2005), 267–276] and Pfender's theorem [J Graph Theory 49(4) (2005), 262–272]. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Directed graphs,Hamiltonicity and doubly stochastic matrices

We consider the Hamiltonian cycle problem embedded in singularly perturbed (controlled) Markov chains. We also consider a functional on the space of stationary policies of the process that consists of the (1,1)‐entry of the fundamental matrices of the Markov chains induced by the same policies. In particular, we focus on the subset of these policies that induce doubly stochastic probability transition matrices, which we refer to as the “doubly stochastic policies.” We show that when the perturbation parameter ? is sufficiently small the minimum of this functional over the space of the doubly stochastic policies is attained very close to a Hamiltonian cycle, provided that the graph is Hamiltonian. We also derive precise analytical expressions for the elements of the fundamental matrix that lend themselves to probabilistic interpretation as well as asymptotic expressions for the first diagonal element, for a variety of deterministic policies that are of special interest, including those that correspond to Hamiltonian cycles. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hamiltonian connected hourglass free line graphs

Thomassen [Reflections on graph theory, J. Graph Theory 10 (1986) 309-324] conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian. An hourglass is a graph isomorphic to K₅-E(C₄), where C₄ is a cycle of length 4 in K₅. In Broersma et al. [On factors of 4-connected claw-free graphs, J. Graph Theory 37 (2001) 125-136], it is shown that every 4-connected line graph without an induced subgraph isomorphic to the hourglass is hamiltonian connected. In this note, we prove that every 3-connected, essentially 4-connected hourglass free line graph, is hamiltonian connected.     

Signless Laplacian spectral radius and Hamiltonicity of graphs with large minimum degree

In this paper, we establish a tight sufficient condition for the Hamiltonicity of graphs with large minimum degree in terms of the signless Laplacian spectral radius and characterize all extremal graphs. Moreover, we prove a similar result for balanced bipartite graphs. Additionally, we construct infinitely many graphs to show that results proved in this paper give new strength for one to determine the Hamiltonicity of graphs.
