The famous P\'{o}sa-Seymour conjecture, confirmed in 1998 by Koml\'{o}s, S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy, and Szemer\'{e}di, states that for any $k \geq 2$, every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $kn/(k + 1)$ contains the $k$-th power of a…

Dirac proved that each $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph with minimum degree $k$ contains a cycle of length at least $\min\{2k, n\}$. We obtain analogous results for Berge cycles in hypergraphs. Recently, the authors proved an exact lower…

Dean conjectured that for each integer $k \ge 3$, every graph with minimum degree at least $k$ has a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$; this conjecture is known to be true for all $k\neq 5$. For $k\in\{3,4\}$, stronger statements are…

Dean conjectured three decades ago that every graph with minimum degree at least $k\ge 3$ contains a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$. While the conjecture has been verified for $k\in \{3,4\}$, it remains open for $k\ge 5$. A weaker…

We show that every 3-uniform hypergraph with minimum vertex degree at least $0.8\binom{n-1}{2}$ contains a tight Hamiltonian cycle.

Dirac (1952) proved that every connected graph of order $n>2k+1$ with minimum degree more than $k$ contains a path of length at least $2k+1$. Erd\H{o}s and Gallai (1959) showed that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with average degree more than…

This MSci thesis surveys results in extremal graph theory, in particular relating to Hamilton cycles. Szem\'eredi's Regularity Lemma plays a central role. We also investigate the robust outexpansion property for digraphs. Kelly showed that…

We show that for each \alpha>0 every sufficiently large oriented graph G with \delta^+(G),\delta^-(G)\ge 3|G|/8+ \alpha |G| contains a Hamilton cycle. This gives an approximate solution to a problem of Thomassen. In fact, we prove the…

Let $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ be two integers with $n_{1},n_{2}\geq3$ and $G$ a graph of order $n=n_{1}+n_{2}$. As a generalization of Ore's degree condition for the existence of Hamilton cycle in $G$, El-Zahar proved that if $\delta(G)\geq…

We prove a `resilience' version of Dirac's theorem in the setting of random regular graphs. More precisely, we show that, whenever $d$ is sufficiently large compared to $\varepsilon>0$, a.a.s. the following holds: let $G'$ be any subgraph…

Let $G_1,...,G_n$ be graphs on the same vertex set of size $n$, each graph with minimum degree $\delta(G_i)\ge n/2$. A recent conjecture of Aharoni asserts that there exists a rainbow Hamiltonian cycle i.e. a cycle with edge set…

For any undirected and simple graph G = (V;E), where V denotes the vertex set and E the edge set of G. G is called hamiltonian if it contains a cycle that visits each vertex of G exactly once. Ore (1960) proved that G is hamiltonian if…

Dirac's theorem states that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with even integer $n$ satisfying $\delta(G) \geq n/2$ contains a perfect matching. We generalize this to $k$-uniform linear hypergraphs by proving the following. Any $n$-vertex…

We study the number of edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles one can guarantee in a sufficiently large graph G on n vertices with minimum degree d = (1/2+a)n. For any constant a > 0, we give an optimal answer in the following sense: let…

In 1999, Jacobson and Lehel conjectured that for $k \geq 3$, every $k$-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…

Erd{\H o}s (1963) initiated extensive graph discrepancy research on 2-edge-colored graphs. Gishboliner, Krivelevich, and Michaeli (2023) launched similar research on oriented graphs. They conjectured the following extension of Dirac's…

We show that every 4-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and minimum pair degree at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a tight Hamiltonian cycle. This degree condition is asymptotically optimal.

We prove that for $r\in \mathbb{N}$ with $r\geq 2$ and $\mu>0$, there exist $\alpha>0$ and $n_{0}$ such that for every $n\geq n_{0}$, every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\geq \left(1-\frac{1}{r}+\mu\right)n$ and $\alpha(G)\leq \alpha…

We show that the threshold for the random graph $G_{n,p}$ to contain the square of a Hamilton cycle is $p=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$. This improves the previous results of K\"uhn and Osthus and also Nenadov and \v{S}kori\'c. In addition we…

Let D be a digraph and C be a cycle in D. For any two vertices x and y in D, the distance from x to y is the minimum length of a path from x to y. We denote the square of Let $D$ be a digraph and $C$ be a cycle in $D$. For any two vertices…
