In 1975, John Sheehan conjectured that every Hamiltonian 4-regular graph has a second Hamiltonian cycle. Combined with earlier results this would imply that every Hamiltonian r-regular graph (r 3) has a second Hamiltonian cycle. We shall verify this for r 300.
A set J C V is called a nonseparating independent set (nsis) of a connected graph G = (V, E), if J is an independent set of G, i.e., E A {uv [ Vu, v E J} = 0, and G -J is connected. We call z(G) = maxJ{lJ[ tJ is an nsis of G} the nsis number of G. Let G be a 3-regular connected graph; we prove that
