## Abstract We consider the problem of the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles that could be present in a Hamiltonian maximal planar graph on __p__ vertices. In particular, we construct a __p__‐vertex maximal planar graph containing exactly four Hamiltonian cycles for every __p__ ≥ 12. We also pro

✦ Synopsis
The Kneser graph K (n, k) has as its vertex set all k-subsets of an n-set and two k-subsets are adjacent if they are disjoint. The odd graph O k is a special case of Kneser graph when n = 2k +1. A long standing conjecture claims that O k is hamiltonian for all k>2. We show that the prism over O k is hamiltonian for all k even.

It is proved that if a planar triangulation different from K3 and K4 contains a Hamiltonian cycle, then it contains at least four of them. Together with the result of Hakimi, Schmeichel, and Thomassen [21, this yields that, for n 2 12, the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles in a Hamiltonian planar
## Abstract In this article, we shall prove that every bipartite quadrangulation __G__ on the torus admits a simple closed curve visiting each face and each vertex of __G__ exactly once but crossing no edge. As an application, we conclude that the radial graph of any bipartite quadrangulation on th
## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph on __p__ vertices with __q__ edges and let __r__ = __q__ − __p__ = 1. We show that __G__ has at most ${15\over 16} 2^{r}$ cycles. We also show that if __G__ is planar, then __G__ has at most 2^__r__ − 1^ = __o__(2^__r__ − 1^) cycles. The planar result is best possib
## Abstract Let __p__ and __C__~4~ (__G__) be the number of vertices and the number of 4‐cycles of a maximal planar graph __G__, respectively. Hakimi and Schmeichel characterized those graphs __G__ for which __C__~4~ (__G__) = 1/2(__p__^2^ + 3__p__ ‐ 22). This characterization is correct if __p__ ≥
