چکیده

It is shown that there are infinitely many connected vertex-transitive graphs that have no Hamilton decomposition, including infinitely many Cayley graphs of valency 6, and including Cayley graphs of arbitrarily large valency.

Hamilton cycles and paths in vertex-transitive graphs - Current directions

In this article current directions in solving Lovász’s problem about the existence of Hamilton cycles and paths in connected vertex-transitive graphs are given. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 1. Historical motivation In 1969, Lovász [59] asked whether every finite connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamilton path, that is, a simple path going through all vertices, thus tying toge...

It is shown that every connected vertex-transitive graph of order 4p, where p is a prime, is hamiltonian with the exception of the Coxeter graph which is known to possess a Hamilton path. In 1969, Lovász [22] asked if every finite, connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamilton path, that is, a path going through all vertices of the graph. With the exception of K 2 , only four connected verte...

Two-geodesic transitive graphs of prime power order

In a non-complete graph $Gamma$, a vertex triple $(u,v,w)$ with $v$ adjacent to both $u$ and $w$ is called a $2$-geodesic if $uneq w$ and $u,w$ are not adjacent. The graph $Gamma$ is said to be   $2$-geodesic transitive if its automorphism group is transitive on arcs, and also on 2-geodesics. We first produce a reduction theorem for the family of $2$-geodesic transitive graphs of prime power or...

On the Decomposition of Vertex-Transitive Graphs into Multicycles

In this paper, we prove that every vertex-transitive graph can be expressed as the edge-disjoint union of symmetric graphs. We define a multicycle graph and conjecture that every vertex-transitive graph cam be expressed as the edge-disjoint union of multicycles. We verify this conjecture for several subclasses of vertextransitive graphs, including Cayley graphs, multidimensional circulants, and...
