چکیده

In this paper we study connectivity and hamiltonicity properties of the topological grid graphs, which are a natural type of planar graphs associated with finite subgraphs of the usual square lattice graph of the plane. The main results are as follows. The shortness coefficient of the family of all topological grid graphs is at most 16/17. Every 3-connected topological grid graph is hamiltonian.

Hamiltonicity 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...

A sufficient condition for Hamiltonicity in locally finite graphs

Using topological circles in the Freudenthal compactification of a graph as infinite cycles, we extend to locally finite graphs a result of Oberly and Sumner on the Hamiltonicity of finite graphs. This answers a question of Stein, and gives a sufficient condition for Hamiltonicity in locally finite graphs.

An approximation algorithm for the longest cycle problem in solid grid graphs

Although, the Hamiltonicity of solid grid graphs are polynomial-time decidable, the complexity of the longest cycle problem in these graphs is still open. In this paper, by presenting a linear-time constant-factor approximation algorithm, we show that the longest cycle problem in solid grid graphs is in APX. More precisely, our algorithm finds a cycle of length at least 2n 3 + 1 in 2-connected ...

On Eulerianity and Hamiltonicity in Annihilating-ideal Graphs

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity, and $ mathrm{A}(R) $ be the set of ideals with non-zero annihilator. The annihilating-ideal graph of $ R $ is defined as the graph $AG(R)$ with the vertex set $ mathrm{A}(R)^{*}=mathrm{A}(R)setminuslbrace 0rbrace $ and two distinct vertices $ I $ and $ J $ are adjacent if and only if $ IJ=0 $. In this paper, conditions under which $AG(R)$ is either E...

Signless Laplacian spectral radius and Hamiltonicity of graphs with large minimum degree

In this paper, we establish a tight sufficient condition for the Hamiltonicity of graphs with large minimum degree in terms of the signless Laplacian spectral radius and characterize all extremal graphs. Moreover, we prove a similar result for balanced bipartite graphs. Additionally, we construct infinitely many graphs to show that results proved in this paper give new strength for one to deter...
