Necessary and sufficient conditions for unit graphs to be Hamiltonian

H. R. Maimani, M. R. Pournaki and S. Yassemi

Vol. 249 (2011), No. 2, 419–429
Abstract

The unit graph corresponding to an associative ring R is the graph obtained by setting all the elements of R to be the vertices and defining distinct vertices x and y to be adjacent if and only if x + y is a unit of R. By a constructive method, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for unit graphs to be Hamiltonian.
