Hamiltonian path

A Hamiltonian path in a graph is a path that visits each vertex exactly once. If a Hamiltonian path exists that also returns to the starting vertex, forming a cycle, it is called a Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit). Finding Hamiltonian paths and cycles is a well-known problem in graph theory and is closely related to many important problems in computer science, including the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP).
