Pancake flipping, a famous open problem in computer science, can be formalised as the problem of sorting a permutation of positive integers using as few prefix reversals as possible. In that context, a prefix reversal of length k reverses…

Universal cycles, such as De Bruijn cycles, are cyclic sequences of symbols that represent every combinatorial object from some family exactly once as a consecutive subsequence. Graph universal cycles are a graph analogue of universal…

The graph of overlapping permutations is a directed graph that is an analogue to the De Bruijn graph. It consists of vertices that are permutations of length $n$ and edges that are permutations of length $n+1$ in which an edge $a_1\cdots…

A graph $G$ on $m$ vertices is pancyclic if it contains cycles of length $l$, $3\leq l \leq m$ as subgraphs in $G$. The complete graph $K_{9}$ on 9 vertices with a cycle $C_{9}$ of length 9 deleted from $K_{9}$ is denoted by…

A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is \textit{pancyclic} if it contains cycles of length $t$ for all $3 \leq t \leq n$. In this paper we prove that for any fixed $\epsilon>0$, the random graph $G(n,p)$ with $p(n)\gg n^{-1/2}$ asymptotically almost…

Let $G$ be an undirected graph of order $n$ and let $C_i$ be an $i$-cycle graph. $G$ is called pancyclic if $G$ contains a $C_i$ for any $i\in \{3,4,\ldots,n\}$. We show that the pancyclicity of specific Cayley graphs and the Cartesian…

An $n$-vertex graph is called pancyclic if it contains a cycle of length $t$ for all $3 \leq t \leq n$. In this paper, we study pancyclicity of random graphs in the context of resilience, and prove that if $p \gg n^{-1/2}$, then the random…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the simple graph with vertex set $G$, in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is a power of the other. For an integer $n\geq 2$, let $C_n$ denote the cyclic group…

We prove the following theorem. Let $r\ge 4$ be an integer, and $G$ be a $K_{1,r}$-free $r$-edge-connected $r$-regular graph. Then, for every set $W$ of even number of vertices of $G$ such that the distance between any two vertices of $W$…

It is shown that a hamiltonian $n/2$-regular bipartite graph $G$ of order $2n>8$ contains a cycle of length $2n-2$. Moreover, if such a cycle can be chosen to omit a pair of adjacent vertices, then $G$ is bipancyclic.
