Chvátal's spanning closed 1-trail conjecture

Let a tt-tough graph GG satisfy ω(GS)max1,1tS\omega(G\setminus S)\leq\max\\{1,\frac{1}{t}|S|\\} for every SV(G)S\subseteq V(G). A spanning closed 11-trail is a spanning closed trail meeting each vertex at most once, hence a Hamiltonian cycle. Chvátal's conjecture. There exists a positive real number t0t_0 such that every t0t_0-tough graph of order at least three admits a spanning closed 11-trail. This is the explicitly displayed reformulation of the Hamiltonicity conjecture in the source; the source discusses only a weaker confirmed result.
