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 ...

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 finding a third Hamilton Cycle in cubic graph?

According to Smith Theorem: if a cubic graph has a hamilton circuit then it must have a second one. SMITH : Given a Hamilton circuit in a 3-regular graph, find a second Hamilton circuit. It is known ...

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 ...

Graph classes where Hamiltonian Cycle and Hamiltonian Path problems have different complexity

While searching The information System on Graph Classes and their Inclusions, I stumbled on several graph classes for which the Hamiltonian Cycle problem is $NP$-complete while the complexity of ...

Minimum distance between Hamiltonian cycles in cubic Hamiltonian graph

It is $NP$-hard to find constant factor approximation of longest cycle in cubic Hamiltonian graphs. Therefore, finding a Hamiltonian cycle in a cubic Hamiltonian graph is NP-hard. By Smith's theorem, ...
