Abstract

A Hamiltonian decomposition of a regular graph is a partition of its edge set into Hamiltonian cycles. We consider the second Hamiltonian decomposition problem: for a 4-regular multigraph, find 2 edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles different from the given ones. This problem arises in polyhedral combinatorics as a sufficient condition for non-adjacency in the 1-skeleton of the traveling salesperson polytope. We introduce two integer linear programming models for the problem based on the classical Dantzig-Fulkerson-Johnson and Miller-Tucker-Zemlin formulations for the traveling salesperson problem. To enhance the performance on feasible problems, we supplement the algorithm with a variable neighborhood descent heuristic w.r.t. two neighborhood structures and a chain edge fixing procedure. Based on the computational experiments, the Dantzig-Fulkerson-Johnson formulation showed the best results on directed multigraphs, while on undirected multigraphs, the variable neighborhood descent heuristic was especially effective.
