Approximation of Hamiltonian cycles

Let's define the $\texttt{MinHalfSimpCycle}$ search problem: Given $G=(V, E)$ a complete, undirected graph with weights on the edges. We want a simple cycle in $G$ (each vertex appears in it at most ...

Which are good algorithms for finding Hamiltonian path (not necessarily a circle) up to now?

I am not expertise in graph theory. So have to ask this question here. The term "good" means that the algorithms should be efficient for general undirected simple connected graphs with a higher ...

Efficient Hamiltonian cycle algorithms for graph classes

Generally speaking, finding a Hamiltonian cycle is NP-Hard and so tough. But if $G=L(H)$ is the line graph of $H$, then we can reduce the problem of finding a Hamiltonian cycle in $G$ to finding an ...

Is Hamiltonian cycle fixed parameter tractable with parameter clique cover?

Let $G$ be connected simple graph. Clique cover of graph $G$ is partition of the vertices of $G$ into $k$ disjoint cliques $D'_i$. Given $G$ and $k$-clique cover, can we solve Hamiltonian cycle in ...

What is the complexity of counting Hamiltonian cycles of a graph?

Since deciding whether a graph contains a Hamiltonian cycle is $NP$-complete, the counting problem which counts the number of such cycles of a graph is $NP$-hard. Is it also $PP$-hard in the sense ...
