    A counterexample to prism-hamiltonicity of 3-connected planar graphs

    Full text link
    The prism over a graph GG is the Cartesian product of GG with the complete graph K2K_2. A graph GG is hamiltonian if there exists a spanning cycle in GG, and GG is prism-hamiltonian if the prism over GG is hamiltonian. In [M.~Rosenfeld, D.~Barnette, Hamiltonian circuits in certain prisms, Discrete Math. 5 (1973), 389--394] the authors conjectured that every 3-connected planar graph is prism-hamiltonian. We construct a counterexample to the conjecture

    Polyhedra without cubic vertices are prism-hamiltonian

    The prism over a graph GG is the Cartesian product of GG with the complete graph on two vertices. A graph GG is prism-hamiltonian if the prism over GG is hamiltonian. We prove that every polyhedral graph (i.e. 3-connected planar graph) of minimum degree at least four is prism-hamiltonian
