I just looked at some self dual graph examples in the web and found that all of them are hamilton.
Are there non-hamiltonian self dual graphs, or does self duality imply hamiltoncity?
I have no idea, how to tackle this question. Thanks for your help...
EDIT Ok, I found this in Alan Bruce Hill's thesis on Self-Dual Graphs in the "Conclusion and Open Problems" section:
"For example, I conjecture that all 3-connected self-dual graphs are Hamiltonian. One possible approach to that conjecture might be trying to use the radial graphs of Section 2.3. For self-dual planar maps, there is a chance of proving/disproving this using the fact that we know how to construct all such graphs."
Was there any progress since 2002?
According to this paper by Peter Owens, the following graph is a counterexample:
This graph is constructed as follows: start with the octohedral graph and add a vertex for each face. Then join this vertex to the three vertices forming the corresponding face. (This construction is given at the beginning of Section 2 of the aforementioned paper.)
