	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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit) 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.
		A Hamiltonian cycle, Hamiltonian circuit, vertex tour or graph cycle is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once (except the vertex which is both the start and end, and so is visited twice).

	Hamiltonian path problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the mathematical field of graph theory the Hamiltonian path problem and the Hamiltonian cycle problem are problems of determining whether a Hamiltonian path or a Hamiltonian cycle exists in a given graph (whether directed or undirected).
		The Hamiltonian path problem for graph G is equivalent to the Hamiltonian cycle problem in a graph H obtained from G by adding a new vertex and connecting it to all vertices of G.
		The Hamiltonian cycle problem is a special case of the traveling salesman problem, obtained by setting the distance between two cities to a finite constant if they are adjacent and infinity otherwise.

	PCGrate -> Hamiltonian Cycle Problem
		It is based on the concept of successive iterative decreases in cycle length, in which the iterative procedure begins with a randomly chosen cycle.
		As different edges of the graph are assigned the weights 0 and 1, the cycle length is determined in view of the edges with the unit weight.
		Polynomial complexity of the algorithm results from the fact that the number of iterations for each unit edge of the cycle (i.e., when a correlation is made between the unit edges of the cycle and all zero edges of the graph) is finite.

		Another shows that there is a long cycle by finding a collection of cycles and lower bound on the average length of the cycles in the collection.Yet another way to show that there are abundant long cycles is to show that they generate the cycle space.
