Let $G$ be a $k$-connected graph with $k\geq 2$. In this paper we first prove that: For two distinct vertices $x$ and $z$ in $G$, it contains a path passing through its any $k-2$ {specified} vertices with length at least the average degree…

We conjecture that a 2-connected graph $G$ of order $n$, in which $d(x)+d(y)\geq n-k$ for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, contains a cycle of length $n-k$ ($k<n/2$), unless $G$ is bipartite and $n-k$ is odd. This…

We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of long cycles in locally expanding graphs, and present applications of our conditions and techniques to Ramsey theory, random graphs and positional games.

In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for the existence of a Hamilton cycle, which is applicable to a wide variety of graphs, including relatively sparse graphs. In contrast to previous criteria, ours is based on only two…

A recent result by Kardo\v{s}, M\'a\v{c}ajov\'a and Zerafa [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B. 160 (2023) 1--14] related to the famous Berge-Fulkerson conjecture implies that given an arbitrary set of odd pairwise edge-disjoint cycles, say $\mathcal…

In this paper, we prove a tight minimum degree condition in general graphs for the existence of paths between two given endpoints, whose lengths form a long arithmetic progression with common difference one or two. This allows us to obtain…

Let claw be the graph $K_{1,3}$. A graph $G$ on $n\geq 3$ vertices is called \emph{o}-heavy if each induced claw of $G$ has a pair of end-vertices with degree sum at least $n$, and 1-heavy if at least one end-vertex of each induced claw of…

We give a sharp spectral condition for the existence of odd cycles in a graph of given order. We also prove a related stability result.

Much of extremal graph theory has concentrated either on finding very small subgraphs of a large graph (Turan-type results) or on finding spanning subgraphs (Dirac-type results). In this paper we are interested in finding intermediate-sized…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a decomposition of a complete multigraph into edge-disjoint cycles of specified lengths, or into edge-disjoint cycles of specified lengths and a perfect matching.

In this paper we provide some sufficient conditions for the existence of an odd or even cycle that passing a given vertex or an edge in $2$-connected or $2$-edge connected graphs. We provide some similar conditions for the existence of an…

A bisection of a graph is a bipartition of its vertex set such that the two resulting parts differ in size by at most 1, and its size is the number of edges that connect vertices in the two parts. The perfect matching condition and…

The goal of this paper is to describe a sufficient condition on cycles in graphs for which the edge ideal is splittable. We give an explicit splitting function for such ideals.

A pancyclic graph is a graph that contains cycles of all possible lengths from three up to the number of vertices in the graph. In this paper, we establish some new sufficient conditions for a graph to be pancyclic in terms of the edge…

We present a sufficient condition for a pair of finite integer sequences to be degree sequences of a bipartite graph, based only on the lengths of the sequences and their largest and smallest elements.

This paper studies thresholds in random generalized Johnson graphs for containing large cycles, i.e. cycles of variable length growing with the size of the graph. Thresholds are obtained for different growth rates.

A long-standing conjecture of Thomassen says that every longest cycle of a $3$-connected graph has a chord. Thomassen (2018) proved that if $G$ is a $2$-connected cubic graph, then any longest cycle must have a chord. He also showed that in…

There are a variety of existing conditions for a degree sequence to be graphic. When a degree sequence satisfies any of these conditions, there exists a graph that realizes the sequence. We formulate several novel sufficient graphicality…

For a vertex subset $X$ of a graph $G$, let $\Delta_{t}(X)$ be the maximum value of the degree sums of the subsets of $X$ of size $t$. In this paper, we prove the following result: Let $k$ be a positive integer, and let $G$ be an…

For a given finite graph $G$ of minimum degree at least $k$, let $G_{p}$ be a random subgraph of $G$ obtained by taking each edge independently with probability $p$. We prove that (i) if $p \ge \omega/k$ for a function $\omega=\omega(k)$…
