## 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

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
The main results assert that the minimum number of Hamiltonian bypasses in a strong tournament of order n and the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles in a 2-connected tournament of order n increase exponentially with n. Furthermore, the number of Hamiltonian cycles in a tournament increases at leas
It is a simple fact that cubic Hamiltonian graphs have at least two Hamiltonian cycles. Finding such a cycle is NP-hard in general, and no polynomial-time algorithm is known for the problem of finding a second Hamiltonian cycle when one such cycle is given as part of the input. We investigate the co
A digraph with n vertices and fixed outdegree m is generated randomly so that each such digraph is equally likely to be chosen. We consider the probability of the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle in the graph obtained by ignoring arc orientation. We show that there exists m (~23) such that a Hamilto
## 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__ ≥
