A complete solution of 3-step hamiltonian grids and torus graphs

For a (p; q)-graph G, if the vertices of G can be arranged in a sequence v1; v2;...; vp such that for each i = 1; 2;...; p - 1, the distance from vi to vi+1 equal to k, then the sequence is called an AL(k)-step traversal. Furthermore, if d(vp; v1) = k, the sequence v1; v2;...; vp; v1 is called a k-s...

Description
Summary:For a (p; q)-graph G, if the vertices of G can be arranged in a sequence v1; v2;...; vp such that for each i = 1; 2;...; p - 1, the distance from vi to vi+1 equal to k, then the sequence is called an AL(k)-step traversal. Furthermore, if d(vp; v1) = k, the sequence v1; v2;...; vp; v1 is called a k-step Hamiltonian tour and G is k-step Hamiltonian. In this paper we completely determine which rectangular grid graphs are 3-step Hamiltonian and show that the torus graph Cm×Cn is 3-step Hamiltonian for all m ≥ 3; n ≥ 5. © 2019 by the Mathematical Association of Thailand.
