Abstract

We prove that, in the Gilbert model for a random geometric graph, almost every graph becomes Hamiltonian exactly when it first becomes 2-connected. This answers a question of Penrose.

We also show that in the k-nearest neighbor model, there is a constant κ such that almost every κ-connected graph has a Hamilton cycle.
