| | Lecture 25: Hamiltonian Cycle Problem by COMS 482 |
 | | Proof: Hamiltonian Cycle is in NP because a given list of vertices can be checked for a tour in polynomial time. |
 | | Walking left to right down a row means “true,” while right to left means “false.” In this way, a Hamiltonian cycle through the graph represents an assignment of truth values to the variables in a list of 3-SAT clauses. |
