چکیده

We construct infinitely many connected, circulant digraphs of outdegree three that have no hamiltonian circuit. All of our examples have an even number of vertices, and our examples are of two types: either every vertex in the digraph is adjacent to two diametrically opposite vertices, or every vertex is adjacent to the vertex diametrically opposite to itself.

Hamiltonian cycles in (2, 3, c)-circulant digraphs

Let D be the circulant digraph with n vertices and connection set {2, 3, c}. (Assume D is loopless and has outdegree 3.) Work of S.C. Locke and D.Witte implies that if n is a multiple of 6, c ∈ {(n/2) + 2, (n/2) + 3}, and c is even, then D does not have a hamiltonian cycle. For all other cases, we construct a hamiltonian cycle in D.

Infinite Circulant Digraphs and Random Infinite Circulant Digraphs

In this paper, we completely determine the connectivity of every infinite circulant digraphs and prove that almost all infinite circulant digraphs are infinitely strongly connected and therefore have both oneand two-way infinite Hamiltonian paths.

Hamiltonian cycles in circulant digraphs with two stripes

The Circulant Travelling Salesman Problem (CTSP) is the problem of nding a minimum weight Hamiltonian cycle in a weighted graph with circulant distance matrix. The computational complexity of this problem is not known. In fact, even the complexity of deciding Hamiltonicity of the underlying graph is unkown. This paper presents necessary and suucient conditions for the existence of a Hamilto-nia...

Approximating Longest Directed Paths and Cycles

We investigate the hardness of approximating the longest path and the longest cycle in directed graphs on n vertices. We show that neither of these two problems can be polynomial time approximated within n1-ε for any ε > 0 unless P = NP. In particular, the result holds for digraphs of constant bounded outdegree that contain a Hamiltonian cycle. Assuming the stronger complexity conjecture that S...

Maximum Exponent of Boolean Circulant Matrices with Constant Number of Nonzero Entries in their Generating Vector

It is well-known that the maximum exponent that an n-by-n boolean primitive circulant matrix can attain is n − 1. In this paper, we find the maximum exponent attained by n-by-n boolean primitive circulant matrices with constant number of nonzero entries in their generating vector. We also give matrices attaining such exponents. Solving this problem we also solve two equivalent problems: 1) find...
