Abstract

As you will recall, in the solution of Problem 19.5 we introduced for our convenience the notion of Hamiltonian cycle, or a walk along the edges through all vertices of a graph, that does not repeat a vertex (and therefore, does not repeat any edge) until it ends at the vertex it started from. When such a Hamiltonian cycle exists, the graph is called Hamiltonian.
