Phys. Rev. E 75, 066708 (2007) [10 pages]Finding long cycles in graphsReceived 27 February 2007; published 29 June 2007 We analyze the problem of discovering long cycles inside a graph. We propose and test two algorithms for this task. The first one is based on recent advances in statistical mechanics and relies on a message passing procedure. The second follows a more standard Monte Carlo Markov chain strategy. Special attention is devoted to Hamiltonian cycles of (nonregular) random graphs of minimal connectivity equal to 3. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
