Uniquely hamiltonian graphs

GenerateUHG is a generator for graphs with a given number k of hamiltonian cycles (which is especially efficient for small values of k).

The algorithms used in the generator are described in:

  • J. Goedgebeur, B. Meersman and C.T. Zamfirescu, Graphs with few hamiltonian cycles, Mathematics of Computation, 89:965-991, 2020 (arXiv).

The generator can be downloaded here and a short manual can be found here. GenerateUHG is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and has been tested on Linux and Mac OS X.

Installation instructions:

  • Download, extract and configure nauty (GenerateUHG requires nauty 2.5 or a more recent version).
  • Compile the nauty libraries using: "make nautyW1.a"
  • Copy the following files to the GenerateUHG directory: nausparse.h nauty.h nautyW1.a naututil.h planarity.c naurng.h splay.c planarity.h
  • Compile using the command "make".

The counts of uniquely hamiltonian graphs (i.e. graphs with exactly one hamiltonian cycle) can be found at the House of Graphs.
