A Hamiltonian graph (directed or undirected) is a graph that contains a Hamiltonian cycle, that is, a cycle that visits every vertex exactly once.

Does this graph contain at least two Hamiltonian cycles?
Here is a proof of Gordon's claim. We will prove something slightly stronger.
Claim.
Let $G$ be a $d$-regular graph with $d$ odd. Then for every $e \in E(G)$, there is an even number of Hamiltoni …

How to efficiently find a Hamiltonian cycle in a graph whose closure is complete?
In the case that your graph satisfies the conditions of Ore's theorem (so that it's Ore closure is $K_n$ after 'one step'), there is an easy algorithm to find a Hamilton cycle.
Arbitrarily arrange …

What is the smallest uniquely hamiltonian graph with minimum degree at least 3?
I am not sure what the smallest such graph is, but since you also asked for more information on uniquely hamiltonian graphs with minimum degree $3$, Entringer and Swart proved the following nice theor …

Hamiltonian cycle in $S_n$ with transpositions
Yes, $(S_n, E_n)$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle for every $n \geq 3$. This follows by the Steinhaus–Johnson–Trotter algorithm
. The transpositions can even be chosen to be consecutive elements in the …

How many hamiltonian cycles can be removed from a complete directed graph before it becomes ...
I will rephrase your question slightly. Let $K_{n}^{*}$ be the directed graph with $n$ vertices and two oppositely directed edges for each pair of vertices. Your question is then the following.

Efficient Hamiltonian cycle algorithms for graph classes
One class of graphs for which many NP-hard problems (including finding a Hamiltonian cycle) are easy (linear-time) are graphs of bounded tree-width. Indeed, by Courcelle's theorem any problem which c …

Approximation of Hamiltonian cycles
Claim. For every $\rho \geq 1$, there is no polynomial $\rho$-approximation algorithm for $\texttt{MinHalfSimpCycle}$, unless P=NP.
Proof. Let $G$ be an instance of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TS …
