## Abstract We prove that the strong product of any __n__ connected graphs of maximum degree at most __n__ contains a Hamilton cycle. In particular, __G__^ฮ(__G__)^ is hamiltonian for each connected graph __G__, which answers in affirmative a conjecture of Bermond, Germa, and Heydemann. ยฉ 2005 Wile

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we characterize graphs G for which GยฎK2 is Hamiltonian, where ยฎ denotes the tensor product of graphs. The relationship between the bieulerian orientation of a 4-regular graph G and the existence of a pair of edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles in GยฎK2 is established. Also a characterization for a 4-regular graph to have a bieulerian orientation is presented. Finally, some conjectures of Jha relating to the existence of cycles or edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles are either proved or disproved.

It is shown that the Trivalent Cayley graphs, TC,,, are near recursive. In particular, TC, is a union of four copies of i"Cn\_2 with additional well placed nodes. This allows one to recursively build the Hamilton cycle in TC,.
