Minimum multiplicities of subgraphs and Hamiltonian systems
Abstract
Description
Let G be a finite simple graph with automorphism group A(G). Then a spanning subgraph U of G is a fixing subgraph of G if G contains exactly $| A(G)|/ | A(G) \cap A(U)| $ subgraphs isomorphic to U: the graph G must always contain at least this number. If in addition $A(U) \subseteq A(G)$ then U is a strong fixing subgraph. Fixing subgraphs are important in many areas of graph theory. We consider them in the context of Hamiltonian graphs
