ℓ-distant Hamiltonian walks in Cartesian product graphs
2009
Abstract We introduce and study a generalisation of Hamiltonian cycles: an l-distant Hamiltonian walk in a graph G of order n is a cyclic ordering of its vertices in which consecutive vertices are at distance l. Conditions for a Cartesian product graph to possess such an l-distant Hamiltonian walk are given and more specific results are presented concerning toroidal grids.
A Loopless Generation of Bitstrings without p Consecutive Ones
2001
Let F n (p) be the set of all n-length bitstrings such that there are no p consecutive ls. F n (p) is counted with the pth order Fibonacci numbers and it may be regarded as the subsets of {1, 2,…, n} without p consecutive elements and bitstrings in F n (p) code a particular class of trees or compositions of an integer. In this paper we give a Gray code for F n (p) which can be implemented in a recursive generating algorithm, and finally in a loopless generating algorithm.
Combinatorial isomorphism between Fibonacci classes
2008
Abstract In 1985 Simion and Schmidt showed that the set S n (T 3) of length n permutations avoiding the set of patterns T 3={123, 132, 213} is counted by (the second order) Fibonacci numbers. They also presented a constructive bijection between the set F n–1 of length (n–1) binary strings with no two consecutive 1s and S n (T 3). In 2005, Egge and Mansour generalized the first Simion-Simion’s result and showed that S n (T p ), the set of permutations avoiding the patterns T p ={12…p, 132, 213}, is counted by the (p–1)th order Fibonacci numbers. In this paper we extend the second Simion-Schmidt’s result by giving a bijection between the set of length (n–1) binary strings with no (p–1) consec…
Enumerating the Walecki-Type Hamiltonian Cycle Systems
2017
Let Kv be the complete graph on v vertices. A Hamiltonian cycle system of odd order v (briefly HCS(v)) is a set of Hamiltonian cycles of Kv whose edges partition the edge set of Kv. By means of a slight modification of the famous HCS(4n+1) of Walecki, we obtain 2n pairwise distinct HCS(4n+1) and we enumerate them up to isomorphism proving that this is equivalent to count the number of binary bracelets of length n, i.e. the orbits of Dn, the dihedral group of order 2n, acting on binary n-tuples.
Claws contained in all n-tournaments
1993
Abstract We prove that any claw of order n with degree d≤ 3 8 n is n-unavoidable, which means that any tournament of order n contains it as a subdigraph. A simple corollary is that any tournament has a directed Hamiltonian path.
Random Walk in a N-cube Without Hamiltonian Cycle to Chaotic Pseudorandom Number Generation: Theoretical and Practical Considerations
2017
Designing a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is a difficult and complex task. Many recent works have considered chaotic functions as the basis of built PRNGs: the quality of the output would indeed be an obvious consequence of some chaos properties. However, there is no direct reasoning that goes from chaotic functions to uniform distribution of the output. Moreover, embedding such kind of functions into a PRNG does not necessarily allow to get a chaotic output, which could be required for simulating some chaotic behaviors. In a previous work, some of the authors have proposed the idea of walking into a $\mathsf{N}$-cube where a balanced Hamiltonian cycle has been removed as the basis o…
Minimal change list for Lucas strings and some graph theoretic consequences
2005
AbstractWe give a minimal change list for the set of order p length-n Lucas strings, i.e., the set of length-n binary strings with no p consecutive 1's nor a 1ℓ prefix and a 1m suffix with ℓ+m⩾p. The construction of this list proves also that the order p n-dimensional Lucas cube has a Hamiltonian path if and only if n is not a multiple of p+1, and its second power always has a Hamiltonian path.
A note on the separation of subtour elimination constraints in elementary shortest path problems
2013
Abstract This note proposes an alternative procedure for identifying violated subtour elimination constraints (SECs) in branch-and-cut algorithms for elementary shortest path problems. The procedure is also applicable to other routing problems, such as variants of travelling salesman or shortest Hamiltonian path problems, on directed graphs. The proposed procedure is based on computing the strong components of the support graph. The procedure possesses a better worst-case time complexity than the standard way of separating SECs, which uses maximum flow algorithms, and is easier to implement.
Large multiple neighborhood search for the clustered vehicle-routing problem
2018
Abstract The clustered vehicle-routing problem is a variant of the classical capacitated vehicle-routing problem in which customers are partitioned into clusters, and it is assumed that each cluster must have been served completely before the next cluster is served. This decomposes the problem into three subproblems, i.e., the assignment of clusters to routes, the routing inside each cluster, and the sequencing of the clusters in the routes. The second task requires the solution of several Hamiltonian path problems, one for each possibility to route through the cluster. We pre-compute the Hamiltonian paths for every pair of customers of each cluster. We present a large multiple neighborhood…
