Let G be a simple graph of order n with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G), and let k be an integer such that 1≤k≤n−1. The k-token graph G{k} of G is the graph whose vertices are the k-subsets of V(G), where two vertices A and B are adjacent in G{k} whenever their symmetric difference A▵B, defined as (A∖B)∪(B∖A), is a pair {a,b} of adjacent vertices in G. In this paper we study the Hamiltonicity of the k-token graphs of some join graphs. We provide an infinite family of graphs, containing Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian graphs, for which their k-token graphs are Hamiltonian. Our result provides, to our knowledge, the first family of non-Hamiltonian graphs for which it is proven the Hamiltonicity of their k-token graphs, for any 2<k<n−2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
