Recall that a path or cycle which contains every vertex of a graph is called a Hamilton path or Hamilton cycle of the graph. Such paths and cycles are named after Sir William Rowan Hamilton, who described, in a letter to his friend Graves in 1856, a mathematical game on the dodecahedron (Figure 18.1a) in which one person sticks pins in any five consecutive vertices and the other is required to complete the path so formed to a spanning cycle (see Biggs et al. (1986) or Hamilton (1931)). Hamilton was prompted to consider such cycles in his early investigations into group theory, the three edges incident to a vertex corresponding to three generators of a group.
