On cyclic edge-connectivity of fullerenes
Klavdija Kutnar, Dragan Marušič, 2008, original scientific article

Abstract: A graph is said to be cyclically ▫$k$▫-edge-connected, if at least ▫$k$▫ edges must be removed to disconnect it into two components, each containing a cycle. Such a set of ▫$k$▫ edges is called a cyclic-k-edge cutset and it is called a trivial cyclic-k-edge cutset if at least one of the resulting two components induces a single ▫$k$▫-cycle. It is known that fullerenes, that is, 3-connected cubic planar graphs all of whose faces are pentagons and hexagons, are cyclically 5-edge-connected. In this article it is shown that a fullerene ▫$F$▫ containing a nontrivial cyclic-5-edge cutset admits two antipodal pentacaps, that is, two antipodal pentagonal faces whose neighboring faces are also pentagonal. Moreover, it is shown that ▫$F$▫ has a Hamilton cycle, and as a consequence at least ▫$15 \cdot 2^{n/20-1/2}$▫ perfect matchings, where ▫$n$▫ is the order of ▫$F$▫.

Arc-transitive cycle decompositions of tetravalent graphs
Štefko Miklavič, Primož Potočnik, Steve Wilson, 2008, original scientific article

Abstract: A cycle decomposition of a graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ is a set ▫$\mathcal{C}$▫ of cycles of ▫$\Gamma$▫ such that every edge of ▫$\Gamma$▫ belongs to exactly one cycle in ▫$\mathcal{C}$▫. Such a decomposition is called arc-transitive if the group of automorphisms of ▫$\Gamma$▫ that preserve setwise acts transitively on the arcs of ▫$\Gamma$▫. In this paper, we study arc-transitive cycle decompositions of tetravalent graphs. In particular, we are interested in determining and enumerating arc-transitive cycle decompositions admitted by a given arc-transitive tetravalent graph. Among other results we show that a connected tetravalent arc-transitive graph is either 2-arc-transitive, or is isomorphic to the medial graph of a reflexible map, or admits exactly one cycle structure.

Hamilton cycle and Hamilton path extendability of Cayley graphs on abelian groups
Štefko Miklavič, Primož Šparl, 2012, original scientific article

Abstract: In this paper the concepts of Hamilton cycle (HC) and Hamilton path (HP) extendability are introduced. A connected graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ is ▫$n$▫-HC-extendable if it contains a path of length ▫$n$▫ and if every such path is contained in some Hamilton cycle of ▫$\Gamma$▫. Similarly, ▫$\Gamma$▫ is weakly ▫$n$▫-HP-extendable if it contains a path of length ▫$n$▫ and if every such path is contained in some Hamilton path of ▫$\Gamma$▫. Moreover, ▫$\Gamma$▫ is strongly ▫$n$▫-HP-extendable if it contains a path of length ▫$n$▫ and if for every such path $P$ there is a Hamilton path of ▫$\Gamma$▫ starting with ▫$P$▫. These concepts are then studied for the class of connected Cayley graphs on abelian groups. It is proved that every connected Cayley graph on an abelian group of order at least three is 2-HC-extendable and a complete classification of 3-HC-extendable connected Cayley graphs of abelian groups is obtained. Moreover, it is proved that every connected Cayley graph on an abelian group of order at least five is weakly 4-HP-extendable.

Hamilton cycles in (2, odd, 3)-Cayley graphs
Henry Glover, Klavdija Kutnar, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, 2012, original scientific article

Abstract: In 1969, Lovász asked if every finite, connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamilton path. In spite of its easy formulation, no major breakthrough has been achieved thus far, and the problem is now commonly accepted to be very hard. The same holds for the special subclass of Cayley graphs where the existence of Hamilton cycles has been conjectured. In 2007, Glover and Marušič proved that a cubic Cayley graph on a finite ▫$(2, s, 3)$▫-generated group ▫$G = \langle a, x| a^2 = x^s = (ax)^3 = 1, \dots \rangle$▫ has a Hamilton path when ▫$|G|$▫ is congruent to 0 modulo 4, and has a Hamilton cycle when ▫$|G|$▫ is congruent to 2 modulo 4. The Hamilton cycle was constructed, combining the theory of Cayley maps with classical results on cyclic stability in cubic graphs, as the contractible boundary of a tree of faces in the corresponding Cayley map. With a generalization of these methods, Glover, Kutnar and Marušič in 2009 resolved the case when, apart from ▫$|G|$▫, also ▫$s$▫ is congruent to 0 modulo 4. In this article, with a further extension of the above "tree of faces" approach, a Hamilton cycle is shown to exist whenever ▫$|G|$▫ is congruent to 0 modulo 4 and s is odd. This leaves ▫$|G|$▫ congruent to 0 modulo 4 with s congruent to 2 modulo 4 as the only remaining open case. In this last case, however, the "tree of faces" approach cannot be applied, and so entirely different techniques will have to be introduced if one is to complete the proof of the existence of Hamilton cycles in cubic Cayley graphs arising from finite ▫$(2, s, 3)$▫-generated groups.

On Hamiltonicity of circulant digraphs of outdegree three
Štefko Miklavič, Primož Šparl, 2009, original scientific article

Abstract: This paper deals with Hamiltonicity of connected loopless circulant digraphs of outdegree three with connection set of the form ▫$\{a,ka,c\}$▫, where ▫$k$▫ is an integer. In particular, we prove that if ▫$k=-1$▫ or ▫$k=2$▫ such a circulant digraph is Hamiltonian if and only if it is not isomorphic to the circulant digraph on 12 vertices with connection set ▫$\{3,6,4\}$▫.

Hamilton paths and cycles in vertex-transitive graphs of order 6p
Klavdija Kutnar, Primož Šparl, 2009, original scientific article

Abstract: It is shown that every connected vertex-transitive graph of order ▫$6p$▫, where ▫$p$▫ is a prime, contains a Hamilton path. Moreover, it is shown that, except for the truncation of the Petersen graph, every connected vertex-transitive graph of order ▫$6p$▫ which is not genuinely imprimitive contains a Hamilton cycle.
