Abstract:A heuristic methodology for the identification of a circuit passing through all the vertices only once in a graph is presented. The procedure is based upon defining a normal form of a matrix and then transforming the adjacency matrix into its normal form. For a class of graphs known to be Hamiltonian, it is conjectured that this methodology will identify circuits in a small number of steps and in many cases merely by observation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
