A matrix method is used to determine the number of Hamiltonian cycles on \(P_{m} \times P_{n}, m=4\), 5. This provides an alternative to other approaches which had been used to solve the problem. The method and its more generalized version, transfer-matrix method, may give easier solutions to cases
## Abstract We give a structural description of the class π of graphs that do not contain a cycle with a unique chord as an induced subgraph. Our main theorem states that any connected graph in π is either in some simple basic class or has a decomposition. Basic classes are chordless cycles, cliqu
We extend an elegant proof technique of A . G . Thomason, and deduce several parity theorems for paths and cycles in graphs. For example, a graph in which each vertex is of even degree has an even number of paths if and only if it is of even order, and a graph in which each vertex is of odd degree h
