Does this graph contain at least two Hamiltonian cycles?
Let $G$ be a simple graph which is a $2n$-cycle together with $n$ chords such that $G$ is $3$-regular. In other words, the set of $n$ chords is a perfect matching of $G$.
I conjecture that for every ...

Graphs with many edges avoided by Hamiltonian cycles
Let $G$ be a $3$-connected Hamiltonian graph with at least one edge that belongs to each H-cycle of $G$. Some authors (e.g. in the link given here) call such an edge an a-edge and an edge that belongs ...

What is the smallest uniquely hamiltonian graph with minimum degree at least 3?
I would like to know more about uniquely hamiltonian graphs with minimum vertex degree at least 3, and in particular what is the smallest one.
(Recall that a graph is hamiltonian if it has a cycle ...

Generalisation of this circular arrangement of numbers from $1$ to $32$ with two adjacent numbers being perfect squares
I posted this question on MSE, and failed to get the type of answer I wanted. That's why I would like to post it here and wait for the experts to reply. Here's the link to the MSE post, which I ...

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 ...

Graph gadget related to uniquely hamiltionian regular graphs
A graph is uniquely hamiltonian if it has exactly one hamiltonian cycle.
According to a conjecture there are no $r$-regular uniquely hamiltonian
graphs for $r > 2$ and of special interest is the ...

Infinitely many counterexamples to Nash-Williams's conjecture about hamiltonicity?
Question from 2013
gives one counterexample to Nash-Williams's conjecture about hamiltonicity
of dense digraphs.
Later, we found tens of counterexamples on more than 30 vertices
and believe there are ...

Two more counterexamples to a conjecture from 1975 about hamiltonicity of digraphs
Question from 2013
gives one counterexample to Nash-Williams's conjecture 1975 about hamiltonicity
of dense digraphs.
In the linked answer, @LouisD "reverse engineered" the counterexample
