Let Cay(S : H) be the Cayley digraph of the generators S in the group H. A one-way infinite Hamiltonian path in the digraph G is a listing of all the vertices [q: 1 ~< i <oo], such that there is an arc from vi to vi+ 1. A two-way infinite Hamiltonian path is similarly defined, with i ranging from -0

We show every finitely-generated, infinite abeliar\_ group (i.e. Zn x G where G is a finite abelian group) has a minimal generating set for which the Cayley digraph has a two-way in&rite hamiltonian path, and if n 2 2, then this Cayley digraph also has a one-way infinite hamiltonian path. We show fu
Cayley graphs arise naturally in computer science, in the study of word-hyperbolic groups and automatic groups, in change-ringing, in creating Escher-like repeating patterns in the hyperbolic plane, and in combinatorial designs. Moreover, Babai has shown that all graphs can be realized as an induced
We obtain a characterization of all Hamilton paths in the Cayley digraph of a metacyclic group G with generating set {x, y} where (yx-') a G. The abundance of these Hamilton paths allows us to show that Hamilton paths occur in groups of at least two.
We give a simple proof that the obvious necessary conditions for a graph to contain the k th power of a Hamiltonian path are sufficient for the class of interval graphs. The proof is based on showing that a greedy algorithm tests for the existence of Hamiltonian path powers in interval graphs. We wi
