Let K v be the complete graph on v vertices. A Hamiltonian cycle system of odd order v (briefly HCS ( v ) ) is a set of Hamiltonian cycles of K v whose edges partition the edge set of K v . By means of a slight modification of the famous HCS ( 4 n + 1 ) of Walecki, we obtain 2 n pairwise distinct HCS ( 4 n + 1 ) and we enumerate them up to isomorphism proving that this is equivalent to count the number of binary bracelets of length n , i.e. the orbits of D n , the dihedral group of order 2 n , acting on binary n ‐tuples.
