On Hamilton decompositions of infinite circulant graphs
The natural infinite analogue of a (finite) Hamilton cycle is a two-way-infinite Hamilton path (connected spanning 2-valent subgraph).
Although it is known that every connected 2k-valent infinite circulant graph has a two-way-infinite Hamilton path, there exist many such graphs that do not have a decomposition into k edge-disjoint two-way-infinite Hamilton paths. This contrasts with the finite case where it is conjectured that every 2k-valent connected circulant graph has a decomposition into k edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. We settle the problem of decomposing 2k-valent infinite circulant graphs into k edge-disjoint two-way-infinite Hamilton paths for k=2, in many cases when k=3, and in many other cases including where the connection set is ±{1,2,...,k} or ±{1,2,...,k - 1, 1,2,...,k + 1}
Infinite Hamiltonian paths in Cayley diagraphs of hyperbolic symmetry groups
AbstractThe hyperbolic symmetry groups [p,q], [p,q]+, and [p+, q] have certain natural generating sets. We determine whether or not the corresponding Cayley digraphs have one-way infinite or two-way infinite directed Hamiltonian paths. In addition, the analogous Cayley graphs are shown to have both one-way infinite and two-way infinite Hamiltonian paths
Cayley graphs of order kp are hamiltonian for k < 48
We provide a computer-assisted proof that if G is any finite group of order
kp, where k < 48 and p is prime, then every connected Cayley graph on G is
hamiltonian (unless kp = 2). As part of the proof, it is verified that every
connected Cayley graph of order less than 48 is either hamiltonian connected or
hamiltonian laceable (or has valence less than three).Comment: 16 pages. GAP source code is available in the ancillary file
