Given an undirected graph G, is there an algorithm polynomial in the size of G, for enumerating all the minimum simple circuits in G? Given G as above, and k, the length of minimum circuit in G, how many simple circuits with length between k and 2k are there in G? Is there a known upper bound on this quantity for arbitrary G? And again, can we enumerate all such circuits in polynomial time? Any solution and/or pointer to relevant references will be highly appreciated. -- Dechang
