Prove that these two connected Petersen subgraphs are Hamiltonian (or not).

34 Views Asked by At

I'm currently revisiting some graph theory and have ran into the following graph.

I am to prove if it is Hamiltonian or not.

To my knowledge there is no definite or "good" theorems to determine if a graph is Hamiltonian (or not, i.e. Ore's, Dirac's) nor do we have any time/space efficient algorithms for checking larger graphs.

I have checked algorithmically that this connected graph of two Petersen subgraphs is not Hamiltonian though I don't know how to prove it mathematically.

Can anyone suggest a good angle of approach or a possible solution to mathematically proving that the graph below is not Hamiltonian?

Is it plausible to prove that it is non-Hamiltonian by the fact Petersen graphs are not Hamiltonian?
