Abstract
In 1999, Jacobson and Lehel conjectured that for , every -regular Hamiltonian graph has cycles of at least linearly many different lengths. This was further strengthened by Verstra\"{e}te, who asked whether the regularity can be replaced with the weaker condition that the minimum degree is at least . Despite attention from various researchers, until now, the best partial result towards both of these conjectures was a lower bound on the number of cycle lengths. We resolve these conjectures asymptotically, by showing that the number of cycle lengths is at least .
