Horak–Rosa Hamiltonian path conjecture

About 12 years old · traced to

Let KvK_v denote the complete graph on {0,1,…,v−1}\{0,1,\dots,v-1\}, and let ℓ(H)\ell(H) be the multiset of edge-lengths of a graph HH, with edge lengths in KvK_v defined by ℓ(x,y)=min⁡(∣x−y∣,v−∣x−y∣)\ell(x,y)=\min(|x-y|,v-|x-y|). Horak–Rosa conjecture. Let LL be a list of v−1v-1 positive integers not exceeding ⌊v/2⌋\lfloor v/2\rfloor. Then there exists a Hamiltonian path HH of KvK_v such that ℓ(H)=L\ell(H)=L if and only if, for every divisor dd of vv, the number of multiples of dd appearing in LL does not exceed v−dv-d. The conjecture generalizes Buratti's problem to arbitrary orders and is stated in the paper as still widely open, with partial results known.
