Tutte has shown that every 4-connected planar graph contains a Hamilton cycle. Grünbaum and Nash-Williams independently conjectured that the same is true for toroidal graphs. In this paper, we prove that every 4-connected toroidal graph contains a Hamilton path.

For each integer m ≥ 1, consider the graph Gm whose vertex set is the set N = {0, 1, 2, . . . } of natural numbers and whose edges are the pairs xy with y = x + m or y = x − m or y = mx or y = x/m. Our aim in this note is to show that, for each m, the graph Gm contains a Hamilton
This thesis puts forward the conjecture that for n > 3k with k > 2, the generalized Petersen graph, GP (n, k) is Hamilton-laceable if n is even and k is odd, and it is Hamilton-connected otherwise. We take the first step in the proof of this conjecture by proving the case n = 3k
A grid graph is a node-induced finite subgraph of the infinite grid. It is rectangular if its set of nodes is the product of two intervals. Given a rectangular grid graph and two of its nodes, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the graph to have a Hamilton path betwe
We investigate the existence of Hamilton paths in connected Cayley graphs on generalized dihedral groups. In particular, we show that a connected Cayley graph of valency at least three on a generalized dihedral group, whose order is divisible by four, is Hamiltonconnected, unless
The vertex set of the resonance graph of a hexagonal graph G consists of 1-factors of G, two 1-factors being adjacent whenever their symmetric difference forms the edge set of a hexagon of G. A decomposition theorem for the resonance graphs of catacondensed hexagonal graph is pro
An edge-colored graph H is properly colored if no two adjacent edges of H have the same color. In 1997, J. Bang-Jensen and G. Gutin conjectured that an edgecolored complete graph G has a properly colored Hamilton path if and only if G has a spanning subgraph consisting of a prope
