چکیده

This paper explores finding the number nh of undirected hamiltonian paths in an undirected graph G = (V,E) using lumped/ideal circuits, specifically low-pass filters. Ideal analog computation allows one to computer nh in a short period of time, but in practice, precision problems disturb this ideal nature. A digital/algorithmic approach is proposed, and then it is shown that the approach/method operates under theoretically feasible (polynomial) time: O(n), where n = |V |.

Analog Computer Understanding of Hamiltonian Paths, and a Possible Digitization

This paper explores finding existence of undirected hamiltonian paths in a graph using lumped/ideal circuits, specifically low-pass filters. While other alternatives are possible, a first-order RC low-pass filter is chosen to describe the process. The paper proposes a way of obtaining time complexity for counting the number of hamiltonian paths in a graph, and then shows that the time complexit...

Independence, Radius and Hamiltonian Paths

We show that if the radius of a simple, connected graph equals its independence number, then the graph contains a Hamiltonian path. This result was conjectured by the computer program Graffiti.pc, using a new conjecture-generating strategy called Sophie. We also mention several other sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian paths that were conjectured by Graffiti.pc, but which are currently open, ...

Hamiltonian Path in 2-Trees

For a connected graph, a path containing all vertices is known as Hamiltonian path. For general graphs, there is no known necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Hamiltonian paths and the complexity of finding a Hamiltonian path in general graphs is NP-Complete. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Hamiltonian paths in 2-trees. Using our character...

Quantum Adiabatic Evolution Algorithms with Different Paths

In quantum adiabatic evolution algorithms, the quantum computer follows the ground state of a slowly varying Hamiltonian. The ground state of the initial Hamiltonian is easy to construct; the ground state of the final Hamiltonian encodes the solution of the computational problem. These algorithms have generally been studied in the case where the “straight line” path from initial to final Hamilt...

Layered Graph Traversals and Hamiltonian Path Problems - An Algebraic Approach

Using an algebra of paths we present abstract algebraic derivations for two problem classes concerning graphs, viz. layer oriented traversal and computing sets of Hamiltonian paths. In the rst case, we are even able to abstract to the very general setting of Kleene algebras. Applications include reachability and a shortest path problem as well as topological sorting, cycle detection and nding m...
