Abstract

A famous conjecture of Lovász states that every connected vertex-transitive graph contains a Hamilton path. In this article we confirm the conjecture in the case that the graph is dense and sufficiently large. In fact, we show that such graphs contain a Hamilton cycle and moreover we provide a polynomial time algorithm for finding such a cycle.
