Marco Buratti has conjectured that, given an odd prime $p$ and a multiset $L$ containing $p-1$ integers taken from $\{1,\ldots,(p-1)/2\}$, there exists a Hamiltonian path in the complete graph with $p$ vertices whose multiset of edge-lengths is equal to $L$ modulo $p$. We give a positive answer to this conjecture in the case of multisets of the type $\{1^a,2^b,3^c\}$ by completely classifying such multisets that are linearly or cyclically realizable.

We prove that if the vertices of a complete graph are labeled with the elements of an arithmetic progression, then for any given vertex there is a Hamiltonian path starting at this vertex such that the absolute values of the differences of consecutive vertices along the path are pairwise distinct. In another extreme case where the label set has small additive energy, we show that the graph actually possesses a Hamiltonian cycle with the property just mentioned.  These results partially solve a conjecture by Z.-W. Sun.

We construct an infinite family {Cay→(Gi;ai;bi)} of connected, 2-generated Cayley digraphs that do not have hamiltonian paths, such that the orders of the generators ai and bi are unbounded. We also prove that if G is any finite group with |[G,G]|≤3, then every connected Cayley digraph on G has a hamiltonian path (but the conclusion does not always hold when |[G,G]|=4 or 5).

The Hamiltonian path problem for general grid graphs is known to be NP-complete. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hamiltonian paths inL-alphabet,C-alphabet,F-alphabet, andE-alphabet grid graphs. We also present linear-time algorithms for finding Hamiltonian paths in these graphs.

The Traveling Salesman Problem

The collection of personal data is exponentially growing and, as a result, individual privacy is endangered accordingly. With the aim to lessen privacy risks whilst maintaining high degrees of data utility, a variety of techniques have been proposed, being microaggregation a very popular one. Microaggregation is a family of perturbation methods, in which its principle is to aggregate personal data records (i.e., microdata) in groups so as to preserve privacy through k-anonymity. The multivariate microaggregation problem is known to be NP-Hard; however, its univariate version could be optimally solved in polynomial time using the Hansen-Mukherjee (HM) algorithm. In this article, we propose a heuristic solution to the multivariate microaggregation problem inspired by the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the optimal univariate microaggregation solution. Given a multivariate dataset, first, we apply a TSP-tour construction heuristic to generate a Hamiltonian path through all dataset records. Next, we use the order provided by this Hamiltonian path (i.e., a given permutation of the records) as input to the Hansen-Mukherjee algorithm, virtually transforming it into a multivariate microaggregation solver we call Multivariate Hansen-Mukherjee (MHM). Our intuition is that good solutions to the TSP would yield Hamiltonian paths allowing the Hansen-Mukherjee algorithm to find good solutions to the multivariate microaggregation problem. We have tested our method with well-known benchmark datasets. Moreover, with the aim to show the usefulness of our approach to protecting location privacy, we have tested our solution with real-life trajectories datasets, too. We have compared the results of our algorithm with those of the best performing solutions, and we show that our proposal reduces the information loss resulting from the microaggregation. Overall, results suggest that transforming the multivariate microaggregation problem into its univariate counterpart by ordering microdata records with a proper Hamiltonian path and applying an optimal univariate solution leads to a reduction of the perturbation error whilst keeping the same privacy guarantees.

An ordered graph is a pair $\mathcal{G}=(G,\prec)$ where $G$ is a graph and $\prec$ is a total ordering of its vertices. The ordered Ramsey number $\overline{R}(\mathcal{G})$ is the minimum number $N$ such that every ordered complete graph with $N$ vertices and with edges colored by two colors contains a monochromatic copy of $\mathcal{G}$. In contrast with the case of unordered graphs, we show that there are arbitrarily large ordered matchings $\mathcal{M}_n$ on $n$ vertices for which $\overline{R}(\mathcal{M}_n)$ is superpolynomial in $n$. This implies that ordered Ramsey numbers of the same graph can grow superpolynomially in the size of the graph in one ordering and remain linear in another ordering. We also prove that the ordered Ramsey number $\overline{R}(\mathcal{G})$ is polynomial in the number of vertices of $\mathcal{G}$ if the bandwidth of $\mathcal{G}$ is constant or if $\mathcal{G}$ is an ordered graph of constant degeneracy and constant interval chromatic number. The first result gives a positive answer to a question of Conlon, Fox, Lee, and Sudakov. For a few special classes of ordered paths, stars or matchings, we give asymptotically tight bounds on their ordered Ramsey numbers. For so-called monotone cycles we compute their ordered Ramsey numbers exactly. This result implies exact formulas for geometric Ramsey numbers of cycles introduced by Károlyi, Pach, Tóth, and Valtr.

Lov?sz conjectured that every connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamiltonian path. The odd graphs Ok form a well-studied family of connected, k-regular, vertex-transitive graphs. It was previously known that Ok has Hamiltonian paths for k ? 14. A direct computation of Hamiltonian paths in Ok is not feasible for large values of k, because Ok has (2k - 1, k - 1) vertices and k/2 (2k - 1, k - 1) edges. We show that Ok has Hamiltonian paths for 15 ? k ? 18. Instead of directly running any heuristics, we use existing results on the middle levels problem, therefore further relating these two fundamental problems, namely finding a Hamiltonian path in the odd graph and finding a Hamiltonian cycle in the corresponding middle levels graph. We show that further improved results for the middle levels problem can be used to find Hamiltonian paths in Ok for larger values of k.

This paper presents a graph-based ordering scheme of color vectors. A complete graph is defined over a filter window and its structure is analyzed to construct an ordering of color vectors. This graph-based ordering is constructed by finding a Hamiltonian path across the color vectors of a filter window by a two-step algorithm. The first step extracts, by decimating a minimum spanning tree, the extreme values of the color set. These extreme values are considered as the infimum and the supremum of the set of color vectors. The second step builds an ordering by constructing a Hamiltonian path among the vectors of color vectors, starting from the infimum and ending at the supremum. The properties of the proposed graph-based ordering of vectors are detailed. Several experiments are conducted to assess its filtering abilities for morphological and median filtering.
