  Hamiltonian path - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle in an undirected graph which visits each vertex exactly once and also returns to the starting vertex.
Hamiltonian paths and cycles are named after William Rowan Hamilton who invented the icosian game, now also known as Hamilton's puzzle, which involves finding a Hamiltonian cycle in the edge graph of the dodecahedron.
The best characterization of hamiltonian graphs was given in 1972 by the Bondy-Chvátal theorem which generalizes earlier results by G.

 Hamiltonian path - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Hamiltonian path is a path in an undirected graph which visits each vertex exactly once.
A Hamiltonian cycle, Hamiltonian circuit, vertex tour or graph cycle is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once (excluding the start/end vertex).
Similar notions may be defined for directed graphs, where edges (arcs) of a path or a cycle are required to point in the same direction, i.e., connected tail-to-head.

 Hamiltonian Cycles in the Vertex-Adjacency Dual
A Hamiltonian cycle is a walk in a graph G that starts from a vertex v of G and ends at v after visiting all the vertices of G exactly once.
The Hamiltonian cycle is a special case of the Traveling Salesman Problem (known as the TSP problem), where given a number of cities and the costs of travelling from one to the other, a salesman needs to find the cheapest roundtrip route that visits each city and returns to the starting point.
Hamiltonian cycles in triangulations are studied when adjacency is defined as vertex-adjacency, where two triangles are considered to be adjacent if they share exactly at least one vertex.

 Hamiltonian Path Problem
Hamiltonian Path is defined to be a single path that visits every node in the given graph, or a permutation of nodes in such a way that for every adjacent node in the permutation there is an edge defined in the graph.
Simple way of solving the Hamiltonian Path problem would be to permutate all possible paths and see if edges exist on all the adjacent nodes in the permutation.
If the graph is a complete graph, then naturally all generated permutations would quality as a Hamiltonian path.

 Markov Chain Monte Carlo - Hamiltonian Method
Hamiltonian trajectories for a two-dimensional asymmetric uncorrelated Gaussian pdf, demonstrating the ability of the Hamiltonian trajectories to readily transverse the length of the target pdf.
The efficiency of the algorithm is calculated as the ratio of the mean square deviation from the mean of the parameter variance expected for ideal independent sampling method to that observed for the 1000 runs.
As with it any MCMC method, it is also possible to improve the performance of the Hamiltonian method for correlated and asymmetric pdfs through the usual means of adapting the algorithm to include estimates of the covariance structure of the target pdf [2].

 Hamiltonian Cycles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Hamiltonian cycle problem is one of the most famous in graph theory.
If G does not have a Hamiltonian cycle, then there can be no such TSP tour in G', because the only way to get a tour of cost n in G would be to use only edges of weight 1, which implies a Hamiltonian cycle in G.
Since the latter is the case, this reduction shows that TSP is hard, at least as hard as Hamiltonian cycle.

 Hamiltonian
The Hamiltonian equations assert, firstly, that the speed component is the partial derivative of the Hamiltonian with respect to the corresponding momentum component.
We start in the Hamiltonian picture and define finite "canonical transformations" as new positions (Q) and their canonical momenta (P) that are each functions of both old positions (q) and their canonical momenta (p) in such a way that the Hamiltonian equations retain the same form under the transformation.
The old momenta (p) inside the old Hamiltonian are partial derivatives of S with respect to the corresponding position components (q).

 The Interaction Hamiltonian
Unfortunately, this form of the Hamiltonian is not the most useful in optical physics since it is expressed in terms of the vector potential and needs to be evaluated at all charge positions.

From the most basic notions of electrostatics, the energy of interaction with an external transverse field should be expressible as the "energy of assembly" [2]-- viz.

In a series of papers [2,4-8] we constructed a large class of coupled KdV (and related) equations, which are isospectral to an energy-dependent Schrödinger operator and which possess N+1 compatible, local Hamiltonian structures (in the N-component case).
In [23,24] we generalised these results to a class of non-homogeneous hydrodynamic systems which can be associated with a pair of quadratic Hamiltonians with terms which are linear in momenta.

For example, the problem of finding periodic orbits on a prescribed energy surface is closely related to the problem of designing an energy-efficient transport for open sets in phase space.
The second concept is concerned with the notion of energy of a symplectic map.
Autonomous Hamiltonian flows are geodesics for this metric (but not the unique ones) and periodic orbits are related to conjugate points.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Morse Theory for Hamiltonian Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Within six succinct chapters, Morse Theory for Hamiltonian Systems provides a detailed description of the Maslov index, introduces the notion of relative Morse index, and describes the functional setup for the variational theory of Hamiltonian systems, including a new proof of the equivalence between the Hamiltonian and the Lagrangian index.
The purely abstract functional aspects have been clearly separated from the applications to Hamiltonian systems, so many of the results can be applied in and other areas of current research, such as wave equations, Chern-Simon functionals, and Lorentzian geometry.
Morse Theory for Hamiltonian Systems not only offers clear, well-written prose and a unified account of results and techniques, but it also stimulates curiosity by leading readers into the fascinating world of symplectic topology.

 Hamiltonian mechanics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
It may seem excessive to have so many ways of doing the same thing, but each formulation has its own advantages: for example, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations are very powerful in bringing out conservation laws in dynamical systems, and relating them to symmetries.
If the Lagrangian does not depend explicitly on time, the Hamiltonian is a constant of the motion, as the following calculation shows.
Thus the Hamiltonian can be identified with the total energy of the system.

 GENERALIZED HAMILTONIAN FORMALISM FOR FIELD THEORY
In the framework of the geometric formulation of field theory, classical fields are represented by sections of fibred manifolds, and their dynamics is phrased in jet manifold terms.
The Hamiltonian formalism in fibred manifolds is the multisymplectic generalization of the Hamiltonian formalism in mechanics when canonical momenta correspond to derivatives of fields with respect to all world coordinates, not only to time.
In the Hamiltonian formalism, these conditions appear automatically as a part of the Hamilton equations, corresponding to different Hamiltonian forms associated with a degenerate Lagrangian density.

The idea was to quantize these, making them into operators acting on wavefunctions on the space of 3-metrics, and then to quantize the Hamiltonian and diffeomorphism constraints and seek wavefunctions annihilated by these quantized constraints.
It is often difficult to quantize non-polynomial expressions in the canonically conjugate variables and their derivatives.
