چکیده
A triangular grid graph is a finite induced subgraph of the infinite graph associated with the two-dimensional triangular grid. We show that the problem Hamiltonian Cycle is NP-complete for triangular grid graphs, while a hamiltonian cycle in connected, locally connected triangular grid graph can be found in polynomial time. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C38 (05C45, 68Q25).

The Hamiltonian Connected Property of Some Shaped Supergrid Graphs
A Hamiltonian path (cycle) of a graph is a simple path (cycle) which visits each vertex of the graph exactly once. The Hamiltonian path (cycle) problem is to determine whether a graph contains a Hamiltonian path (cycle). A graph is called Hamiltonian connected if there exists a Hamiltonian path between any two distinct vertices. Supergrid graphs were first introduced by us and include grid grap...
متن کاملHamiltonicity is Hard in Thin or Polygonal Grid Graphs, but Easy in Thin Polygonal Grid Graphs
In 2007, Arkin et al. [3] initiated a systematic study of the complexity of the Hamiltonian cycle problem on square, triangular, or hexagonal grid graphs, restricted to polygonal, thin, superthin, degree-bounded, or solid grid graphs. They solved many combinations of these problems, proving them either polynomially solvable or NP-complete, but left three combinations open. In this paper, we pro...
متن کاملHamiltonian Cycles in Linear-Convex Supergrid Graphs
A supergrid graph is a finite induced subgraph of the infinite graph associated with the two-dimensional supergrid. The supergrid graphs contain grid graphs and triangular grid graphs as subgraphs. The Hamiltonian cycle problem for grid and triangular grid graphs was known to be NP-complete. In the past, we have shown that the Hamiltonian cycle problem for supergrid graphs is also NP-complete. ...

We study the Hamiltonian Cycle problem in graphs induced by subsets of the vertices of the tiling of the plane with equilateral triangles. By analogy with grid graphs we call such graphs triangular grid graphs. Following the analogy, we define the class of solid triangular grid graphs. We prove that the Hamiltonian Cycle problem is NPcomplete for triangular grid graphs. We show that with the ex...
متن کاملThe Hamiltonian Problems on Supergrid Graphs
In this paper, we first introduce a novel class of graphs, namely supergrid. Supergrid graphs include grid graphs and triangular grid graphs as their subgraphs. The Hamiltonian cycle and path problems for grid graphs and triangular grid graphs were known to be NP-complete. However, they are unknown for supergrid graphs. The Hamiltonian cycle (path) problem on supergrid graphs can be applied to ...
