We extend Hamilton–Jacobi theory to Lagrange–Dirac (or implicit Lagrangian) systems, a generalized formulation of Lagrangian mechanics that can incorporate degenerate Lagrangians as well as holonomic and nonholonomic constraints. We refer to the generalized Hamilton–Jacobi equation as the Dirac–Hamilton–Jacobi equation. For non-degenerate Lagrangian systems with nonholonomic constraints, the th...

Multiple edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles have been obtained in labelled star graphs Stn of degree n-1, using number-theoretic means, as images of a known base 2-labelled Hamilton cycle under label-mapping automorphisms of Stn. However, no optimum bounds for producing such edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles have been given, and no positive or negative results exist on whether Hamilton decompositions ca...

A graph G is 1-Hamilton-connected if G − x is Hamilton-connected for every vertex x ∈ V (G). In the paper we introduce a closure concept for 1-Hamiltonconnectedness in claw-free graphs. If G is a (new) closure of a claw-free graph G, then G is 1-Hamilton-connected if and only if G is 1-Hamilton-connected, G is the line graph of a multigraph, and for some x ∈ V (G), G − x is the line graph of a ...

A graph G is 1-Hamilton-connected if G − x is Hamilton-connected for every x ∈ V (G), and G is 2-edge-Hamilton-connected if the graph G + X has a hamiltonian cycle containing all edges of X for any X ⊂ E+(G) = {xy| x, y ∈ V (G)} with 1 ≤ |X| ≤ 2. We prove that Thomassen’s conjecture (every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian, or, equivalently, every snark has a dominating cycle) is equivalent...

Classic, and Explicit Turnpikes Paolo Guasoni · Constantinos Kardaras · Scott Robertson · Hao Xing Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract Portfolio turnpikes state that, as the investment horizon increases, optimal portfolios for generic utilities converge to those of isoelastic utilities. This paper proves three kinds of turnpikes. In a general semimartingale setting, the abstract turnpike s...
