A graph is called Dirac if its minimum degree is at least half of the number of vertices in it. Joos and Kim showed that every collection $\mathbb{G}=\{G_1,\ldots,G_n\}$ of Dirac graphs on the same vertex set $V$ of size $n$ contains a…

The P\'osa-Seymour conjecture asserts that every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $(1 - 1/(r+1))n$ contains the $r^{th}$ power of a Hamilton cycle. Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi famously proved the conjecture for…

Define the middle layer graph as the graph whose vertex set consists of all bitstrings of length $2n+1$ that have exactly $n$ or $n+1$ entries equal to 1, with an edge between any two vertices for which the corresponding bitstrings differ…

We show that there is an absolute constant $c>0$ such that every large connected $n$-vertex Cayley graph with degree $d\geq n^{1-c}$ has a Hamilton cycle. This makes progress towards the Lov\'asz conjecture and improves upon the previous…

In this paper, we study discrepancy questions for spanning subgraphs of $k$-uniform hypergraphs. Our main result is that, for any integers $k \ge 3$ and $r \ge 2$, any $r$-colouring of the edges of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $G$…

In 2022, Gao, Huo, Liu, and Ma proved that every graph with minimum degree at least $k+1$ contains $k$ admissible cycles, where a set of $k$ cycles is said to be admissible if their lengths form an arithmetic progression with common…

We say that a $k$-uniform hypergraph $C$ is a Hamilton cycle of type $\ell$, for some $1\le \ell \le k$, if there exists a cyclic ordering of the vertices of $C$ such that every edge consists of $k$ consecutive vertices and for every pair…

A Hamilton Berge cycle of a hypergraph on $n$ vertices is an alternating sequence $(v_1, e_1, v_2, \ldots, v_n, e_n)$ of distinct vertices $v_1, \ldots, v_n$ and distinct hyperedges $e_1, \ldots, e_n$ such that $\{v_1,v_n\}\subseteq e_n$…

Let $D$ be a strong digraph on $n\geq 4$ vertices. In [2, J. Graph Theory 22 (2) (1996) 181-187)], J. Bang-Jensen, G. Gutin and H. Li proved the following theorems: If (*) $d(x)+d(y)\geq 2n-1$ and $min \{d(x), d(y)\}\geq n-1$ for every pair…

Let $k \ge 2$ and let $\bf G = \{G_1, \ldots, G_{m}\}$ be a collection of graphs on a common vertex set of cardinality $n$. We show that if each graph in $\bf G$ has minimum degree at least $(1-\frac{1}{2k} + o(1))n$, then for every…

A loose Hamilton cycle in a hypergraph is a cyclic sequence of edges covering all vertices in which only every two consecutive edges intersect and do so in exactly one vertex. With Dirac's theorem in mind, it is natural to ask what minimum…

A famous conjecture of Lov\'asz states that every connected vertex-transitive graph contains a Hamilton path. In this article we confirm the conjecture in the case that the graph is dense and sufficiently large. In fact, we show that such…

In 1952, Dirac proved the following theorem about long cycles in graphs with large minimum vertex degrees: Every $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph $G$ with minimum vertex degree $\delta\geq 2$ contains a cycle with at least $\min\{2\delta,n\}$…

The Hamiltonian cycle problem in digraph is mapped into a matching cover bipartite graph. Based on this mapping, it is proved that determining existence a Hamiltonian cycle in graph is $O(n^3)$.

Dirac's theorem (1952) is a classical result of graph theory, stating that an $n$-vertex graph ($n \geq 3$) is Hamiltonian if every vertex has degree at least $n/2$. Both the value $n/2$ and the requirement for every vertex to have high…

We show that w.h.p.\ the random $r$-uniform hypergraph $H_{n,m}$ contains a loose Hamilton cycle, provided $r\geq 3$ and $m\geq \frac{(1+\epsilon)n\log n}{r}$, where $\epsilon$ is an arbitrary positive constant. This is asymptotically best…

In 1952, Dirac proved that every 2-connected graph with minimum degree $\delta$ either is hamiltonian or contains a cycle of length at least $2\delta$. In 1986, Bauer and Schmeichel enlarged the bound $2\delta$ to $2\delta+2$ under…
