## Abstract A group Γ is said to possess a hamiltonian generating set if there exists a minimal generating set Δ for Γ such that the Cayley color graph __D__~Δ~(Γ) is hamiltonian. It is shown that every finite abelian group has a hamiltonian generating set. Certain classes of nonabelian groups are

Abstract
A graph G of order at least 2__n__+2 is said to be n‐extendable if G has a perfect matching and every set of n independent edges extends to a perfect matching in G. We prove that every pair of nonadjacent vertices x and y in a connected n‐extendable graph of order p satisfy deg~G~ x+deg~G~ y ≥ p − n − 1, then either G is hamiltonian or G is isomorphic to one of two exceptional graphs. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The problem is considered under which conditions a 4-connected planar or projective planar graph has a Hamiltonian cycle containing certain prescribed edges and missing certain forbidden edges. The results are applied to obtain novel lower bounds on the number of distinct Hamiltonian cycles that mus
## Abstract In this paper, we show that every 3‐connected claw‐free graph on n vertices with δ ≥ (__n__ + 5)/5 is hamiltonian. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
## Abstract M. Matthews and D. Sumner have proved that of __G__ is a 2‐connected claw‐free graph of order __n__ such that δ ≧ (__n__ − 2)/3, then __G__ is hamiltonian. We prove that the bound for the minimum degree δ can be reduced to __n__/4 under the additional condition that __G__ is not in __F_
## Abstract It is conjectured that a 2(__k__ + 1)‐connected graph of order __p__ contains __k__ + 1 pairwise disjoint Hamiltonian cycles if no two of its vertices that have degree less than 1/2 + 2__k__ are distance two apart. This is proved in detail for __k__ = 1. Similar arguments establish the
## Abstract A graph __G__ having a perfect matching is called n‐__extendable__ if every matching of size __n__ of __G__ can be extended to a perfect matching. In this note, we show that if __G__ is an __n__‐extendable nonbipartite graph, then __G__ + __e__ is (__n__ ‐ 1)‐extendable for any edge e ϵ
