Abstract

Y. Manoussakis (J. Graph Theory 16, 1992, 51-59) proposed the following conjecture. \noindent\textbf{Conjecture}. {\it Let DD be a 2-strongly connected digraph of order nn such that for all distinct pairs of non-adjacent vertices xx, yy and ww, zz, we have d(x)+d(y)+d(w)+d(z)4n3d(x)+d(y)+d(w)+d(z)\geq 4n-3. Then DD is Hamiltonian.} In this paper, we confirm this conjecture. Moreover, we prove that if a digraph DD satisfies the conditions of this conjecture and has a pair of non-adjacent vertices {x,y}\{x,y\} such that d(x)+d(y)2n4d(x)+d(y)\leq 2n-4, then DD contains cycles of all lengths 3,4,,n3, 4, \ldots , n.
