Abstract

Let DD be a strongly connected directed graph of order n4n\geq 4 which satisfies the following condition (*): for every pair of non-adjacent vertices x,yx, y with a common in-neighbour d(x)+d(y)2n1d(x)+d(y)\geq 2n-1 and min{d(x),d(y)}n1min \{ d(x), d(y)\}\geq n-1. In \cite{[2]} (J. of Graph Theory 22 (2) (1996) 181-187)) J. Bang-Jensen, G. Gutin and H. Li proved that DD is Hamiltonian. In [9] it was shown that if DD satisfies the condition (*) and the minimum semi-degree of DD at least two, then either DD contains a pre-Hamiltonian cycle (i.e., a cycle of length n1n-1) or nn is even and DD is isomorphic to the complete bipartite digraph (or to the complete bipartite digraph minus one arc) with partite sets of cardinalities of n/2n/2 and n/2n/2. In this paper we show that if the minimum out-degree of DD at least two and the minimum in-degree of DD at least three, then DD contains also a Hamiltonian bypass, (i.e., a subdigraph is obtained from a Hamiltonian cycle by reversing exactly one arc).
