For $d \ge 2$, we show that all graphs of $d$-polytopes have a Hamiltonian line graph if and only if $d \ne 3$: We exhibit a graph of a $3$-polytope on $252$ vertices whose line graph does not even have Hamiltonian paths. Adapting a…

A digraph $D=(V(D)$, $A(D))$ of order $n\geq 3$ is pancyclic, whenever $D$ contains a directed cycle of length $k$ for each $k\in \{3,\ldots,n\}$; and $D$ is vertex-pancyclic iff, for each vertex $v\in V(D)$ and each $k\in \{3,\ldots,n\}$,…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle passing through every vertex. One of the cornerstone results in the theory of random graphs asserts that for edge probability $p \gg \frac{\log n}{n}$, the random graph $G(n,p)$ is…

We find Dirac-type sufficient conditions for a hypergraph $\mathcal H$ with few edges to be hamiltonian. We also show that these conditions provide that $\mathcal H$ is {\em super-pancyclic}, i.e., for each $A \subseteq V(\mathcal H)$ with…

A digraph $D$ is called {\bf noneven} if it is possible to assign weights of 0,1 to its arcs so that $D$ contains no cycle of even weight. A noneven digraph $D$ corresponds to one or more nonsingular sign patterns. Given an $n \times n$…

In earlier papers, we showed a decomposition of the arcs of 2-diregular digraphs (2-dds) and used it to prove some conditions for these graphs to be non-Hamiltonian; we then extended this decomposition to a larger class of digraphs and used…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n\geq 3$ vertices. A graph $G$ is almost distance-hereditary if each connected induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ has the property $d_{H}(x,y)\leq d_{G}(x,y)+1$ for any pair of vertices $x,y\in V(H)$. A graph $G$ is called…

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 $n$. In 1972, Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every Hamiltonian graph with…

\noindent An \textit{\(m \times n\) grid graph} is the induced subgraph of the square lattice whose vertex set consists of all integer grid points \(\{(i,j) : 0 \leq i < m,\ 0 \leq j < n\}\). Let $H$ and $K$ be Hamiltonian cycles in an $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 show that every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices whose minimum $(k-2)$-degree is at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle. A construction due to Han and Zhao shows that this minimum degree condition is optimal. The…

In this paper we prove the following results (via a unified approach) for all sufficiently large $n$: (i) [$1$-factorization conjecture] Suppose that $n$ is even and $D\geq 2\lceil n/4\rceil -1$. Then every $D$-regular graph $G$ on $n$…

The Hamiltonian cycle problem in digraph is mapped into a matching cover bipartite graph. Based on this mapping, it is proved that determining existence a Hamiltonian cycle in graph is $O(n^3)$.

We prove that random hypergraphs are asymptotically almost surely resiliently Hamiltonian. Specifically, for any $\gamma>0$ and $k\ge3$, we show that asymptotically almost surely, every subgraph of the binomial random $k$-uniform hypergraph…

We prove that every $3$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree $\delta_2(H) \geq 7n/9 + o(n)$ contains the square of a tight Hamilton cycle. This strengthens a theorem of Bedenknecht and Reiher that $\delta_2(H) \geq 4n/5 + o(n)$…

We give several results showing that different discrete structures typically gain certain spanning substructures (in particular, Hamilton cycles) after a modest random perturbation. First, we prove that adding linearly many random edges to…

It is an intriguing question to see what kind of information on the structure of an oriented graph $D$ one can obtain if $D$ does not contain a fixed oriented graph $H$ as a subgraph. The related question in the unoriented case has been an…

In 1952, Dirac proved the following theorem about long cycles in graphs with large minimum vertex degrees: Every $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph $G$ with minimum vertex degree $\delta\geq 2$ contains a cycle with at least $\min\{2\delta,n\}$…

Let D be a directed graph with vertex set V and order n. An anti-directed hamiltonian cycle H in D is a hamiltonian cycle in the graph underlying D such that no pair of consecutive arcs in H form a directed path in D. An anti-directed…

We say that a k-uniform hypergraph C is an l-cycle if there exists a cyclic ordering of the vertices of C such that every edge of C consists of k consecutive vertices and such that every pair of consecutive edges (in the natural ordering of…
