Bermond and Thomassen conjectured that every digraph with minimum outdegree at least $2k-1$ contains $k$ vertex disjoint cycles. So far the conjecture was verified for $k\le 3$. Here we generalise the question asking for all outdegree…
Thomass\'{e} conjectured the following strengthening of the well-known Caccetta-Haggkvist Conjecture: any digraph with minimum out-degree $\delta$ and girth $g$ contains a directed path of length $\delta(g-1)$. Bai and Manoussakis…
We show that for any natural number $k \ge 1$, any oriented graph $D$ of minimum semidegree at least $(3k- 2)/4$ contains an antidirected path of length $k$. In fact, a slightly weaker condition on the semidegree sequence of $D$ suffices,…
We ask the question, which oriented trees $T$ must be contained as subgraphs in every finite directed graph of sufficiently large minimum out-degree. We formulate the following simple condition: all vertices in $T$ of in-degree at least $2$…
Understanding how the cycles of a graph or digraph behave in general has always been an important point of graph theory. In this paper, we study the question of finding a set of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles (resp. directed cycles) of distinct…
A longest path in a graph is called a detour. It is easy to see that a connected graph of minimum degree at least $2$ and order at least $4$ has at least $4$ detours. We prove that if the number of detours in such a graph of order at least…
Let $k$ be a positive integer. Bermond and Thomassen conjectured in 1981 that every digraph with minimum outdegree at least $2k-1$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles. It is famous as one of the one hundred unsolved problems selected in…
A famous conjecture by Thomassen from 1983 asserts that for any given $k,g\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists some $d=d(k,g)\in \mathbb{N}$ such that every graph of minimum degree at least $d$ contains a subgraph of minimum degree at least $k$ and…
In new progress on conjectures of Stein, and Addario-Berry, Havet, Linhares Sales, Reed and Thomass\'e, we prove that every oriented graph with all in- and out-degrees greater than 5k/8 contains an alternating path of length k. This…
We show that for every $\eta>0$ every sufficiently large $n$-vertex oriented graph D of minimum semidegree exceeding $(1 + \eta) k/2$ contains every balanced antidirected tree with $k$ edges and bounded maximum degree, if $k \ge \eta n$. In…
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…
We show that for any integer $k \ge 4$, every oriented graph with minimum semidegree bigger than $\frac{1}{2}(k-1+\sqrt{k-3})$ contains an antidirected path of length $k$. Consequently, every oriented graph on $n$ vertices with more than…
A digraph $D$ is an oriented graph if $D$ does not have a pair of opposite arcs. The degree of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the sum of the in-degree and out-degree of $v.$ Let $fvs(D)$ be the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from $D$…
A conjecture by Lichiardopol states that for every $k \ge 1$ there exists an integer $g(k)$ such that every digraph of minimum out-degree at least $g(k)$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint directed cycles of pairwise distinct lengths. Motivated…
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…
We show that every directed graph with minimum out-degree at least $18k$ contains at least $k$ vertex disjoint cycles. This is an improvement over the result of Alon who showed this result for digraphs of minimum out-degree at least $64k$.…
Let $\delta^{0}(D)$ be the minimum semi-degree of an oriented graph $D$. Jackson (1981) proved that every oriented graph $D$ with $\delta^{0}(D)\geq k$ contains a directed path of length $2k$ when $|V(D)|>2k+2$, and a directed Hamilton…
A well known theorem in graph theory states that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least $d$ contains a path of length at least $d$, and if $G$ is connected and $n\ge 2d+1$ then $G$ contains a path of length at least…
We call a finite undirected graph minimally k-matchable if it has at least k distinct perfect matchings but deleting any edge results in a graph which has not. An odd subdivision of some graph G is any graph obtained by replacing every edge…
The minimum semi-degree of a digraph D is the minimum of its minimum outdegree and its minimum indegree. We show that every sufficiently large digraph D with minimum semi-degree at least n/2 +k-1 is k-linked. The bound on the minimum…
