A classical theorem of Dirac from 1952 asserts that every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $\lceil n/2 \rceil$ is Hamiltonian. In this paper we extend this result to random graphs. Motivated by the study of resilience of…

The semi-random graph process is an adaptive random graph process in which an online algorithm is initially presented an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In each round, a vertex $u$ is presented to the algorithm independently and uniformly at…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a given finite (possibly empty) family of connected graphs, each containing a cycle, and let $G$ be an arbitrary finite $\mathcal{H}$-free graph with minimum degree at least $k$. For $p \in [0,1]$, we form a $p$-random…

One of the most well-known conjectures concerning Hamiltonicity in graphs asserts that any sufficiently large connected vertex transitive graph contains a Hamilton cycle. In this form, it was first written down by Thomassen in 1978,…

Let $H_{n,p,r}^{(k)}$ denote a randomly colored random hypergraph, constructed on the vertex set $[n]$ by taking each $k$-tuple independently with probability $p$, and then independently coloring it with a random color from the set $[r]$.…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected directed graph of order $n\geq 4$ which satisfies the following condition (*): for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x, y$ with a common in-neighbour $d(x)+d(y)\geq 2n-1$ and $min \{ d(x), d(y)\}\geq n-1$.…

In this paper, we study long paths and Hamiltonian paths in inhomogenous random graphs. In the first part of the paper, we consider an inhomogenous Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G_E$ with average edge density $p_n.$ We prove that if…

We establish an inclusion relation between two uniform models of random $k$-graphs (for constant $k \ge 2$) on $n$ labeled vertices: $\mathbb G^{(k)}(n,m)$, the random $k$-graph with $m$ edges, and $\mathbb R^{(k)}(n,d)$, the random…

Christoph, Dragani\'{c}, Gir\~{a}o, Hurley, Michel, and M\"{u}yesser conjectured that, when $d\mid n$, the expected number of cycles in a uniformly random cycle-factor of a directed $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices is uniquely maximised by…

In this paper, we consider a random geometric graph (RGG)~\(G\) on~\(n\) nodes with adjacency distance~\(r_n\) just below the Hamiltonicity threshold and construct Hamiltonian cycles using additional edges called bridges. The bridges by…

We prove that, in the Gilbert model for a random geometric graph, almost every graph becomes Hamiltonian exactly when it first becomes 2-connected. This answers a question of Penrose. We also show that in the k-nearest neighbor model, there…

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…

A famous result by R\"odl, Ruci\'nski, and Szemer\'edi guarantees a (tight) Hamilton cycle in $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum $(k-1)$-degree $\delta_{k-1}(H)\geq (1/2+o(1))n$, thereby extending Dirac's result from…

In 2021, Gupta and Suzumura proposed a novel algorithm for enumerating all bounded-length simple cycles in directed graphs. In this work, we present concrete examples demonstrating that the proposed algorithm fails to enumerate certain…

It is well known that a tournament (complete oriented graph) on $n$ vertices has at most ${1/4}\binom{n}{3}$ directed triangles, and that the constant 1/4 is best possible. Motivated by some geometric considerations, our aim in this paper…

In light of Lov\'{a}sz's longstanding question on the existence of Hamilton paths in vertex-transitive graphs, this paper considers a natural variant: what if vertex-transitivity is relaxed, yet a high degree of symmetry--specifically…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected directed graph of order $n\geq 4$ vertices which satisfies the following condition for every triple $x,y,z$ of vertices such that $x$ and $y$ are non-adjacent: If there is no arc from $x$ to $z$, then…

We study Hamiltonicity in the union of an $n$-vertex graph $H$ with high minimum degree and a binomial random graph on the same vertex set. In particular, we consider the case when $H$ has minimum degree close to $n/2$. We determine the…

A graph is \emph{hamiltonian-connected} if every pair of vertices can be connected by a hamiltonian path, and it is \emph{hamiltonian} if it contains a hamiltonian cycle. We construct families of non-hamiltonian graphs for which the ratio…
