A unicursal circuit is a circuit that traverses every graph edge of a graph exactly once. Examples of curves that can be traced unicursally are the Mohammed sign and unicursal hexagram.
For
fixed points in cyclic order
on a circle, let
count closed polygonal routes that visit each point
exactly once and do not join neighboring points on the
circle. Routes are identified under a change of starting
point or reversal of direction, while the positions on
the circle remain fixed. With the conventions
and
, the numbers of these unicursal polygrams for
, 2, ... are 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, 23, 177, 1553, ... (OEIS A002816). For
, these are given by the sum
