A characterization is established for a graph G to have a Hamilton cycle in G × K 2 , the prism over G . Moreover, it is shown that every 3‐connected graph has a 2‐connected spanning bipartite subgraph. Using this result, the existence of a Hamilton cycle in the prism over every 3‐connected cubic graph is established. Further, the existence of a Hamilton cycle in the prism over a cubic 2‐connected graph is also discussed. Earlier results in this direction are shown to be particular cases of the results obtained here. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
