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…

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…

In 1984, Fan gave a sufficient condition involving maximum degree of every pair of vertices at distance two for a graph to be Hamiltonian. Motivated by Fan's result, we say that an induced subgraph $H$ of a graph $G$ is $f$-heavy if for…

Consider the random subgraph process on a base graph $G$ on $n$ vertices: a sequence $\lbrace G_t \rbrace _{t=0} ^{|E(G)|}$ of random subgraphs of $G$ obtained by choosing an ordering of the edges of $G$ uniformly at random, and by…

The generalized Petersen graph $G(n, k)$ is a cubic graph with vertex set $V(G(n, k)) = \{v_i\}_{0 \leq i < n} \cup \{w_i\}_{0 \leq i < n}$ and edge set $E(G(n, k)) = \{v_i v_{i+1}\}_{0 \leq i < n} \cup \{w_i w_{i+k}\}_{0 \leq i < n} \cup…

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…

Let G be a simple balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices, $\delta = \delta(G)/n$, and $\rho={\delta + \sqrt{2 \delta -1} \over 2}$. If $\delta > 1/2$ then it has a $\lfloor \rho n \rfloor$-regular spanning subgraph. The statement is…

We refine a property of $2$-connected graphs described in the classical paper of Dirac from 1952 and use the refined property to somewhat shorten Dirac's proof of the fact that each $2$-connected $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at…

Let $G$ be a graph. Adopting the terminology of Broersma et al. and \v{C}ada, respectively, we say that $G$ is 2-heavy if every induced claw ($K_{1,3}$) of $G$ contains two end-vertices each one has degree at least $|V(G)|/2$; and $G$ is…

We study the existence of a directed Hamilton cycle in random digraphs with $m$ edges where we condition on minimum in- and out-degree at least one. Denote such a random graph by $D_{n,m}^{(\delta\geq1)}$. We prove that if $m=\tfrac n2(\log…

A Hamiltonian graph $G$ of order $n$ is $k$-ordered, $2\leq k \leq n$, if for every sequence $v_1, v_2, \ldots ,v_k$ of $k$ distinct vertices of $G$, there exists a Hamiltonian cycle that encounters $v_1, v_2, \ldots , v_k$ in this order.…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph, where $\delta(G) \geq \delta n$ for some $\delta := \delta(n)$. A result of Bohman, Frieze and Martin from 2003 asserts that if $\alpha(G) = O \left(\delta^2 n \right)$, then perturbing $G$ via the addition…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. An induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called heavy if there exist two nonadjacent vertices in $H$ with degree sum at least $n$ in $G$. We say that $G$ is $H$-heavy if every induced subgraph of $G$ isomorphic…

For a given graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision tiling if $G$ contains a collection of vertex-disjoint subdivisions of $H$ covering all vertices of $G.$ Let $\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H)$ be the smallest integer…

Let $k \ge 3$ be an integer, $H_{k}(G)$ be the set of vertices of degree at least $2k$ in a graph $G$, and $L_{k}(G)$ be the set of vertices of degree at most $2k-2$ in $G$. In 1963, Dirac and Erd\H{o}s proved that $G$ contains $k$…

We show that a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices has a spanning subgraph homeomorphic to the $(k - 1)$-dimensional sphere provided that $H$ has no isolated vertices and each set of $k - 1$ vertices supported by an edge is contained in…

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…

Cohen et al. conjectured that for every oriented cycle $C$ there exist an integer $f(C)$ such that every strong $f(C)$-chromatic digraph contains a subdivision of $C$. El Joubbeh confirmed this conjecture for Hamiltonian digraphs. Indeed,…

We show that a graph $G$ has a normal spanning tree if and only if its vertex set is the union of countably many sets each separated from any subdivided infinite clique in $G$ by a finite set of vertices. This proves a conjecture by Brochet…
