The Cartesian product of two hamiltonian graphs is always hamiltonian. For directed graphs, the analogous statement is false. We show that the Cartesian product C,,, x C, , of directed cycles is hamiltonian if and only if the greatest common divisor (g.c.d.) d of n, and n, is a t least two and there

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a closed walk that traverses r vertices twice and the rest once in the Cayley digraph of 2, @ 2,. This is a generalization of the results known for r = 0 or 1. In 1978, Trotter and Erdos [3] gave a necessary and sufficient condition f
We show that the Cartesian product Z, x Z, of two directed cycles is hypo-Hamiltonian (Hamiltonian) if and only if there is a pair of relatively prime positive integers m and n with ma + nb = ab -1 (ma + nb = ab). The result for hypo-Hamiltonian is new; that for Hamiltonian is known. These are speci
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
Given two integers n and k, n β₯ k > 1, a k-hypertournament T on n vertices is a pair (V, A), where V is a set of vertices, |V | = n and A is a set of k-tuples of vertices, called arcs, so that for any k-subset S of V, A contains exactly one of the k! k-tuples whose entries belong to S.
