Abstract

In this note it is proven that there exist infinitely many positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that the Cartesian product of a directed cycle of length $2 a$ and a directed cycle of length $2 b$ is non-Hamiltonian. In particular, the Cartesian product of an 880-dicycle and a 4368-dicycle is non-Hamiltonian. We also prove that there is no such graph on fewer than $880 \cdot 4368 = 3, 843, 840$ vertices, which is rather astonishing.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Graph Theory is devoted to a variety of topics in graph theory, such as structural results about graphs, graph algorithms with theoretical emphasis, and discrete optimization on graphs. The scope of the journal also includes related areas in combinatorics and the interaction of graph theory with other mathematical sciences. A subscription to the Journal of Graph Theory includes a subscription to the Journal of Combinatorial Designs .
