Title
10-Gabriel graphs are Hamiltonian.
Abstract
We prove that the 10-Gabriel graph of any set of points is Hamiltonian.We discuss a possible way to further improve upon the previous result.We show that there exist sets of points whose 1-Gabriel graph is not Hamiltonian. Given a set S of points in the plane, the k-Gabriel graph of S is the geometric graph with vertex set S, where p i , p j ¿ S are connected by an edge if and only if the closed disk having segment p i p j ¿ as diameter contains at most k points of S ¿ { p i , p j } . We consider the following question: What is the minimum value of k such that the k-Gabriel graph of every point set S contains a Hamiltonian cycle? For this value, we give an upper bound of 10 and a lower bound of 2. The best previously known values were 15 and 1, respectively.
