Hamiltonian paths on directed grids
Abstract
Our studies are related to a special class of FASS-curves, which can be described in a node-rewriting Lindenmayer-system. These ortho-tile (or diagonal) type recursive curves inducing Hamiltonian paths. We define a special directed graph on a rectangular grid, and we enumerate all Hamiltonian paths on this graph. Our formulas are strongly related to both the Fibonacci numbers and the domino tilings of chessboards. The constructability of the regular 17-gon with straightedge and compass is also related.
