Finding the hamiltonian path in a directed cyclic graph?

This problem is a special case of the optimal euler circuit problem where all edge weights are 1; the original problem is NP-complete. Moreover, this problem can be used to solve the Hamiltonian Graph problem (a Hamiltonian cycle exists if and only if the optimal circuit traverses all nodes), so it remains NP-complete even with the special case restriction. Any exact solution will (unless P = NP) require exponential time.

You may find this paper helpful; it describes a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for this problem, as well as a polynomial-time algorithm for cases where the graph has at most degree 4.

A good approximation gives the Hilbert Curve.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
