摘要
It is easy to find out which rectangular m vertex by n vertex grids have a Hamiltonian path from one corner to another using a checkerboard argument. However, it is quite difficult in general to count the total number of such paths. In this paper we give generating function answers for grids with fixed m for m = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
