Disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in recursive circulant graphs. (English) Zbl 1336.05081

Summary: We show in this paper that the circulant graph \(G(2^{m}, 4)\) is Hamiltonian decomposable, and propose a recursive construction method. This is a partial answer to a problem posed by B. Alspach in [“Problem 59”, Discrete Math. 50, 115 (1984; doi:10.1016/0012-365X(84)90041-4)].
