Bridged Hamiltonian Cycles in Sub-critical Random Geometric Graphs
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a random geometric graph (RGG)~\(G\) on~\(n\) nodes with adjacency distance~\(r_n\) just below the Hamiltonicity threshold and construct Hamiltonian cycles using additional edges called bridges. The bridges by definition do not belong to~\(G\) and we are interested in estimating the number of bridges and the maximum bridge length, needed for constructing a Hamiltonian cycle. In our main result, we show that with high probability, i.e. with probability converging to one as~\(n \rightarrow \infty,\) we can obtain a Hamiltonian cycle with maximum bridge length a constant multiple of~\(r_n\) and containing an arbitrarily small fraction of edges as bridges. We use a combination of backbone construction and iterative cycle merging to obtain the desired Hamiltonian cycle.
