Sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian cycles in bipartite digraphs
Abstract
We prove two sharp sufficient conditions for hamiltonian cycles in balanced bipartite directed graph. Let be a strongly connected balanced bipartite directed graph of order . Let be distinct vertices in . dominates a vertex if and ; in this case, we call the pair dominating. (i) {\it If and for every dominating pair of vertices , then either is hamiltonian or is isomorphic to one exceptional digraph of order eight.} (ii) {\it If and for every dominating pair of vertices , then is hamiltonian.} The first result improves a theorem of R. Wang (arXiv:1506.07949 [math.CO]), the second result, in particular, establishes a conjecture due to Bang-Jensen, Gutin and Li (J. Graph Theory , 22(2), 1996) for strongly connected balanced bipartite digraphs of order at least ten.
