Is this case of Barnette's Conjecture known?
Context: Barnette's Conjecture is that every bipartite cubic polyhedral graph is Hamiltonian. I have been interested by this problem for a long time, and I recently came up with a result. From my ...

Quantitatively characterizing the failure of the converse of Dirac's theorem
First, I am an undergraduate so I apologize if this is trivial and certainly understand if it is closed immediately.
I am currently in a combinatorics and graph theory class and recently we have ...

Grinberg's uniquely hamiltonian 3-connected graphs (Russian paper)
Many years ago, Grinberg found some uniquely-hamiltonian $3$-connected graphs, and published his results in a paper that has been cited several times as follows.
E. Grinberg, Three-connected graphs ...

Reference request: Bipartite symmetric graphs are hamiltonian
Does anyone know whether bipartite symmetric graphs are hamiltonian?
I'm not sure whether anyone have proved it before, but a nonhamiltonian symmetric bipartite graph would lead to a counterexample to ...

Are bipartite Moore graphs Hamiltonian?
This is motivated by a computer-generated conjecture that bipartite distance-regular graphs are hamiltonian. I decided to check the case of Moore graphs first.
The cycles and complete bipartite graphs ...

"Gray code" of all permutations
Informally asking, can we step through all permutations of the set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ by just using transpositions?
More formally: For any $n\in\mathbb{N}$ let $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$ and let $S_n$ be ...

What was Smith's proof of Smith's theorem on Hamilton cycles in cubic graphs?
In a short 1946 paper "On Hamiltonian Circuits", Tutte proved the famous result that an edge in a cubic graph lies in an even number of Hamilton circuits.
He attributed the result to his friend CAB ...
