A conjecture of Barnette states that every 3-connected cubic bipartite plane graph has a Hamilton cycle, which is equivalent to the statement that every simple even plane triangulation admits a partition of its vertex set into two subsets…

It is known for some time that a random graph $G(n,p)$ contains w.h.p. a Hamiltonian cycle if $p$ is larger than the critical value $p_{crit}= (\log n + \log \log n + \omega_n)/n$. The determination of a concrete Hamiltonian cycle is even…

We prove that every locally Hamiltonian graph with $n\ge 3$ vertices and possibly with multiple edges has at least $3n-6$ edges with equality if and only if it triangulates the sphere. As a consequence, every edge-maximal embedding of a…

We present progress on three old conjectures about longest paths and cycles in graphs. The first pair of conjectures, due to Lov\'{a}sz from 1969 and Thomassen from 1978, respectively, states that all connected vertex-transitive graphs…

This paper presents sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian paths and cycles in graphs. Letting $\lambda\left( G\right) $ denote the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G,$ the main results of the paper are: (1) Let $k\geq1,$…

An $n$-vertex graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle that covers all of its vertices and it is pancyclic if it contains cycles of all lengths from $3$ up to $n$. A celebrated meta-conjecture of Bondy states that every non-trivial…

Let $Y_{3,2}$ be the $3$-uniform hypergraph with two edges intersecting in two vertices. Our main result is that any $n$-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph with at least $\binom{n}{3} - \binom{n-m+1}{3} + o(n^3)$ edges contains a collection of $m$…

We prove that for all $k\geq 4$ and $1\leq\ell<k/2$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $n$ vertices with $\delta_{k-2}(\mathcal{H})\geq\left(\frac{4(k-\ell)-1}{4(k-\ell)^2}+o(1)\right)\binom{n}{2}$ contains a Hamiltonian…

We characterize all orientations of cycles $C$ for which for every fixed $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists a constant $c \geq 1$ such that every digraph $D$ without loops or parallel arcs with $\chi(D) \geq c$ and minimum out-degree at least…

Investigating a problem of B. Mohar, we show that every one-ended Hamiltonian cubic graph with end degree 3 contains a second Hamilton cycle. We also construct two examples showing that this result does not extend to give a third Hamilton…

A packing of a graph G with Hamilton cycles is a set of edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles in G. Such packings have been studied intensively and recent results imply that a largest packing of Hamilton cycles in G_n,p a.a.s. has size \lfloor…

We study the powers of Hamiltonian cycles in randomly augmented Dirac graphs, that is, $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with minimum degree at least $(1/2+\varepsilon)n$ to which some random edges are added. For any Dirac graph and every integer…

In 1963, Anton Kotzig famously conjectured that $K_{n}$, the complete graph of order $n$, where $n$ is even, can be decomposed into $n-1$ perfect matchings such that every pair of these matchings forms a Hamilton cycle. The problem is still…

The cycle space of a graph $G$, denoted $C(G)$, is a vector space over ${\mathbb F}_2$, spanned by all incidence vectors of edge-sets of cycles of $G$. If $G$ has $n$ vertices, then $C_n(G)$ denotes the subspace of $C(G)$, spanned by the…

We prove that a tournament and its complement contain the same number of oriented Hamiltonian paths (resp. cycles) of any given type, as a generalization of Rosenfeld's result proved for antidirected paths.

Let $\mathcal{G}(k)$ denote the set of connected $k$-regular graphs $G$, $k\geq2$, where the number of vertices at distance 2 from any vertex in $G$ does not exceed $k$. Asratian (2006) showed (using other terminology) that a graph…

Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n$ be chosen independently and uniformly at random from the unit $d$-dimensional cube $[0,1]^d$. Let $r$ be given and let $\cal X=\{X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n\}$. The random geometric graph $G=G_{\cal X,r}$ has vertex set…

We show that for each \eta>0 every digraph G of sufficiently large order n is Hamiltonian if its out- and indegree sequences d^+_1\le ... \le d^+_n and d^- _1 \le ... \le d^-_n satisfy (i) d^+_i \geq i+ \eta n or d^-_{n-i- \eta n} \geq n-i…

We employ the absorbing-path method in order to prove two results regarding the emergence of tight Hamilton cycles in the so called {\em two-path} or {\em cherry}-quasirandom $3$-graphs. Our first result asserts that for any fixed real…

Let $\mu > 2$ and $\epsilon > 0$. We show that, if $G$ is a sufficiently large simple graph of average degree at least $\mu$, and $H$ is a random spanning subgraph of $G$ formed by including each edge independently with probability $p \ge…
