Abstract

We describe fully polynomial randomized approximation schemes for the problems of determining the number of Hamilton paths and cycles in an n-vertex graph with minimum degree $(\frac{1}{2}+\a)n$, for any fixed a 0. We show that the exact counting problems are \#P-complete. We also describe fully polynomial randomized approximation schemes for counting paths and cycles of all sizes in such graphs.
