Abstract

Let D be a digraph and C be a cycle in D. For any two vertices x and y in D, the distance from x to y is the minimum length of a path from x to y. We denote the square of Let DD be a digraph and CC be a cycle in DD. For any two vertices xx and yy in DD, the distance from xx to yy is the minimum length of a path from xx to yy. We denote the square of the cycle CC to be the graph whose vertex set is V(C)V(C) and for distinct vertices xx and yy in CC, there is an arc from xx to yy if and only if the distance from xx to yy in CC is at most 22. The reverse square of the cycle CC is the digraph with the same vertex set as CC, and the arc set A(C)\cup \{yx: \mbox{the vertices}\ x, y\in V(C)\ \mbox{and the distance from xto to yon on Cis is 2}\}. In this paper, we show that for any real number γ>0\gamma>0 there exists a constant n0=n0(γ)n_0=n_0(\gamma), such that every digraph on nn0n\geq n_0 vertices with the minimum in- and out-degree at least (2/3+γ)n(2/3+\gamma)n contains the reverse square of a Hamiltonian cycle. Our result extends a result of Czygrinow, Kierstead and Molla.
