By definition, these are sets of k disjoint paths whose union visits each lattice vertex exactly once. The well-known Hamiltonian circuits and walks appear as the special cases k=0 and k=1 respectively. In two dimensions, we enumerate chains on L x L square lattices up to L=12, walks up to L=17, and circuits up to L=20. Some results for three dimensions are also given. Using our data we extract several quantities of physical interest.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-09-14T15:16:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exact enumeration", "well-known hamiltonian circuits", "square lattices", "union visits", "hamiltonian chains" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2007, "month": "Dec", "volume": 40, "number": 49, "pages": 14667 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007JPhA...4014667L" } } }
