HamiltonianCycles
gives a list of
n
Hamiltonian cycles.
HamiltonianCycles[
g
]
gives a list of one Hamiltonian cycle.
MORE INFORMATION
To use
, you first need to load the
Graph Utilities Package
using
.
returns an empty list if no Hamiltonian cycle exists.
considers the input graph as undirected.
The complexity of the algorithm is such that finding all Hamiltonian cycles for a large graph can take an exponential amount of time.

Basic Examples
(1)
This defines a small graph and finds a Hamiltonian cycle of the graph:
This plots the graph and highlights the cycle in red:
This finds all Hamiltonian cycles:

Applications
(1)
This finds all possible Hamiltonian cycles in the graph consisting of bordering countries in South America:
This shows the first of these two cycles; the second is just a reversal of the first:
Properties & Relations
(1)
A graph that has a Hamiltonian cycle must be biconnected:
A graph that is biconnected does not necessarily have a Hamiltonian cycle:
