Abstract

In this paper, we consider Hamiltonian cycles of vertices in convex position on the plane, where, in general, these cycles contain crossing edges. We give several results concerning the minimum number of operations that delete two crossing edges, add two other edges and preserve hamiltonicity in transforming these cycles to non-crossing Hamiltonian cycles.
