We prove two sharp sufficient conditions for hamiltonian cycles in balanced bipartite directed graph. Let $D$ be a strongly connected balanced bipartite directed graph of order $2a$. Let $x,y$ be distinct vertices in $D$. $\{x,y\}$…

We study how few pairwise distinct longest cycles a regular graph can have under additional constraints. For each integer $r \geq 5$, we give exponential improvements for the best asymptotic upper bounds for this invariant under the…

We present a tight extremal threshold for the existence of Hamilton cycles in graphs with large minimum degree and without a large ``bipartite hole`` (two disjoint sets of vertices with no edges between them). This result extends Dirac's…

Motivated by longstanding conjectures regarding decompositions of graphs into paths and cycles, we prove the following optimal decomposition results for random graphs. Let $0<p<1$ be constant and let $G\sim G_{n,p}$. Let $odd(G)$ be the…

A digraph is 2-regular if every vertex has both indegree and outdegree two. We define an embedding of a 2-regular digraph to be a 2-cell embedding of the underlying graph in a closed surface with the added property that for every…

There has been extensive research on cycle lengths in graphs with large minimum degree. In this paper, we obtain several new and tight results in this area. Let $G$ be a graph with minimum degree at least $k+1$. We prove that if $G$ is…

For large $n$ we determine the maximum number of induced 6-cycles which can be contained in a planar graph on $n$ vertices, and we classify the graphs which achieve this maximum. In particular we show that the maximum is achieved by the…

For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of $2's$ and $1's$, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of $m$-matchings. We find the…

Various results ensure the existence of large complete bipartite graphs in properly colored graphs when some condition related to a topological lower bound on the chromatic number is satisfied. We generalize three theorems of this kind,…

If a biconnected graph stays connected after the removal of an arbitrary vertex and an arbitrary edge, then it is called 2.5-connected. We prove that every biconnected graph has a canonical decomposition into 2.5-connected components. These…

In 1963, Corr\'adi and Hajnal proved that for all $k\geq1$ and $n\geq3k$, every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta(G)\geq2k$ contains $k$ disjoint cycles. The bound $\delta(G) \geq 2k$ is sharp. Here we characterize those…

A Hamiltonian decomposition of a regular graph is a partition of its edge set into Hamiltonian cycles. The problem of finding edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in a given regular graph has many applications in combinatorial optimization and…

Dirac's classical theorem asserts that, for $n \ge 3$, any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. Furthermore, if we additionally assume that such graphs are regular, then, by the breakthrough work of Csaba,…

A chorded cycle in a graph $G$ is a cycle on which two nonadjacent vertices are adjacent in the graph $G$. In 2010, Gao and Qiao independently proved a graph of order at least $4s$, in which the neighborhood union of any two nonadjacent…

We conjecture that a 2-connected graph $G$ of order $n$, in which $d(x)+d(y)\geq n-k$ for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, contains a cycle of length $n-k$ ($k<n/2$), unless $G$ is bipartite and $n-k$ is odd. This…

This paper focuses on the embeddability of hypercubes in an important class of Cayley graphs, known as augmented cubes. An $n$-dimensional augmented cube $AQ_n$ is constructed by augmenting the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ with…

A $P_\ell$-decomposition of a graph $G$ is a set of paths with $\ell$ edges in $G$ that cover the edge set of $G$. Favaron, Genest, and Kouider (2010) conjectured that every $(2k+1)$-regular graph that contains a perfect matching admits a…

The hypercube is one of the most popular interconnection networks since it has simple structure and is easy to implement. The $n$-dimensional twisted cube, denoted by $TQ_n$, an important variation of the hypercube, possesses some…

We study the problem of embedding bipartite graphs in Ahlfors-David regular sets of large dimension using results from extremal graph theory. Our main theorem states that any graph satisfying a power-improving bound on the extremal number…

We study noncrossing geometric graphs and their disjoint compatible geometric matchings. Given a cycle (a polygon) P we want to draw a set of pairwise disjoint straight-line edges with endpoints on the vertices of P such that these new…
