## Abstract In this paper the concepts of Hamilton cycle (HC) and Hamilton path (HP) extendability are introduced. A connected graph Ξ is __n__β__HCβextendable__ if it contains a path of length __n__ and if every such path is contained in some Hamilton cycle of Ξ. Similarly, Ξ is __weakly n__β__HPβ

β¦ Synopsis
A graph G is 2-extendable if any two independent edges of G are contained in a perfect matching of G. A Cayley graph of even order over an abelian group is 2-extendable if and only if it is not isomorphic to any of the following circulant graphs:
(I) Z2.(1,2n -1), n >~ 3; (II) ZE.(1,2,2n -1,2n -2), n >/3; (III) Z4.(1,4n -1,2n), n >~ 2; (IV) Z4.+2(2,4n,2n + l), n ~> 1; and (V) Z4.+2(l,4n + 1,2n,2n + 2), n >/ 1.

Alspach has conjectured that any 2k-regular connected Cayley graph cay(A,S) on a finite abelian group A can be decomposed into k hamiltonian cycles. In this paper, the conjecture is shown to be true if S= {sl,sz, s3} is a minimal generating set of A with 1 Al odd, or S={sl,s& . . . . sk} is a genera
Let G be a finite group, S a subset of G=f1g; and let Cay Γ°G; SΓ denote the Cayley digraph of G with respect to S: If, for any subset T of G=f1g; CayΓ°G; SΓ ffi CayΓ°G; T Γ implies that S a ΒΌ T for some a 2 AutΓ°GΓ; then S is called a CI-subset. The group G is called a CIM-group if for any minimal gene
The Hamilton cycles of a graph generate a subspace of the cycle space called the Hamilton space. The Hamilton space of any connected Cayley graph on an abelian group is determined in this paper.
