Abstract

C. Thomassen (Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 42 (1981), 231-251) gave a characterization of strongly connected non-Hamiltonian digraphs of order p3p\geq 3 with minimum degree p1p-1. In this paper we give an analogous characterization of strongly connected non-Hamiltonian digraphs with Meyniel-type condition (the sum of degrees of every pair of non-adjacent vertices xx and yy at least 2p22p-2). Moreover, we prove that such digraphs DD contain cycles of all lengths kk, for 2km2\leq k\leq m, where mm is the length of a longest cycle in DD.
