We prove that the minimum number of Hamilton cycles in a hamiltonian threshold graph of order $n$ is $2^{\lfloor (n-3)/2\rfloor}$ and this minimum number is attained uniquely by the graph with degree sequence $n-1,n-1,n-2,\ldots,\lceil…
It is proved that if $G$ is a $t$-tough graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ with $t>1$ then either $G$ has a cycle of length at least $\min\{n,2\delta+4\}$ or $G$ is the Petersen graph.
This paper presents sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian paths and cycles in graphs. Letting $\lambda\left( G\right) $ denote the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G,$ the main results of the paper are: (1) Let $k\geq1,$…
It is a longstanding conjecture that every simple drawing of a complete graph on $n \geq 3$ vertices contains a crossing-free Hamiltonian cycle. We strengthen this conjecture to "there exists a crossing-free Hamiltonian path between each…
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…
In this paper we give a proof of Enomoto's conjecture for graphs of sufficiently large order. Enomoto's conjecture states that, if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ with minimum degree $\delta(G)\geq \frac{n}{2}+1$, then for any pair of vertices…
It follows from known results that every regular tripartite hypergraph of positive degree, with $n$ vertices in each class, has matching number at least $n/2$. This bound is best possible, and the extremal configuration is unique. Here we…
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…
We show that every sufficiently large oriented graph $G$ with minimum indegree and outdegree both at least $(3|V(G)|-1)/8$ contains every orientation of a Hamilton cycle. This result improves the approximate bound established by Kelly and…
We say that a k-uniform hypergraph C is an l-cycle if there exists a cyclic ordering of the vertices of C such that every edge of C consists of k consecutive vertices and such that every pair of consecutive edges (in the natural ordering of…
We prove that random hypergraphs are asymptotically almost surely resiliently Hamiltonian. Specifically, for any $\gamma>0$ and $k\ge3$, we show that asymptotically almost surely, every subgraph of the binomial random $k$-uniform hypergraph…
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 prove that for $r\in \mathbb{N}$ with $r\geq 2$ and $\mu>0$, there exist $\alpha>0$ and $n_{0}$ such that for every $n\geq n_{0}$, every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\geq \left(1-\frac{1}{r}+\mu\right)n$ and $\alpha(G)\leq \alpha…
Let claw be the graph $K_{1,3}$. A graph $G$ on $n\geq 3$ vertices is called \emph{o}-heavy if each induced claw of $G$ has a pair of end-vertices with degree sum at least $n$, and 1-heavy if at least one end-vertex of each induced claw of…
The study of asymptotic minimum degree thresholds that force matchings and tilings in hypergraphs is a lively area of research in combinatorics. A key breakthrough in this area was a result of H\`{a}n, Person and Schacht who proved that the…
For $1\le d\le \ell< k$, we give a new lower bound for the minimum $d$-degree threshold that guarantees a Hamilton $\ell$-cycle in $k$-uniform hypergraphs. When $k\ge 4$ and $d< \ell=k-1$, this bound is larger than the conjectured minimum…
In this note, we prove that there exists a universal constant $c=\frac{43}{50}$ such that for every $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and every $d<k/2$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and with minimum $d$-degree at least…
We determine the minimum vertex degree that ensures a perfect matching in a 3-uniform hypergraph. More precisely, suppose that H is a sufficiently large 3-uniform hypergraph whose order n is divisible by 3. If the minimum vertex degree of H…
In this note we prove: {\it Let $D$ be a 2-strong digraph of order $n$ such that its $n-1$ vertices have degrees at least $n+k$ and the remaining vertex $z$ has degree at least $n-k-4$, where $k$ is a positive integer. If $D$ contains a…
