The leapfrog transformation of a planar graph produces the trucation of the dual of the given graph. A fullerene graph is leapfrog if it can be obtained from another fullerene graph by the leapfrog transformation. We prove that leapfrog fullerene graphs on $n=12k-6$ vertices have at least $2^{k}$ Hamilton cycles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-09T13:54:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "leapfrog fullerene graphs", "hamilton cycles", "leapfrog transformation", "cubic planar graph", "planar graph produces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
