An extension of the multi-path algorithm for finding hamilton cycles

The multi-path algorithm for finding hamilton cycles in a graph G is described in the book by Christofides. It is an intelligent exhaustive search for a hamilton cycle. In this paper we describe how the algorithm can be improved in two ways: (1) by detecting small separating sets M for which G–M has more than |M| components; and (2) by detecting bipartitions (X,Y), where |X|<|Y|.

An Algorithm for Finding Hamilton Cycles in Random Directed Graphs

We describe a polynomial (O( n’.‘)) time algorithm DHAM for finding hamilton cycles in digraphs. For digraphs chosen uniformly at random from the set of digraphs with vertex set (1,2,. . . , n } and m = m(n) edges the limiting probability (as n + co) that DHAM finds a hamilton cycle equals the limiting probability that the digraph is hamiltonian. Some applications to random “ travelling salesma...

AN ALGORITHM FOR FINDING THE EIGENPAIRS OF A SYMMETRIC MATRIX

The purpose of this paper is to show that ideas and techniques of the homotopy continuation method can be used to find the complete set of eigenpairs of a symmetric matrix. The homotopy defined by Chow, Mallet- Paret and York [I] may be used to solve this problem with 2""-n curves diverging to infinity which for large n causes a great inefficiency. M. Chu 121 introduced a homotopy equation...

Finding Hamilton cycles in robustly expanding digraphs

We provide an NC algorithm for finding Hamilton cycles in directed graphs with a certain robust expansion property. This property captures several known criteria for the existence of Hamilton cycles in terms of the degree sequence and thus we provide algorithmic proofs of (i) an ‘oriented’ analogue of Dirac’s theorem and (ii) an approximate version (for directed graphs) of Chvátal’s theorem.

Efficient solution for finding Hamilton cycles in undirected graphs

The Hamilton cycle problem is closely related to a series of famous problems and puzzles (traveling salesman problem, Icosian game) and, due to the fact that it is NP-complete, it was extensively studied with different algorithms to solve it. The most efficient algorithm is not known. In this paper, a necessary condition for an arbitrary un-directed graph to have Hamilton cycle is proposed. Bas...
