A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle passing through every vertex exactly once. A celebrated theorem of Dirac from 1952 asserts that every graph on $n\ge 3$ vertices with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. We refer to…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle passing through every vertex. One of the cornerstone results in the theory of random graphs asserts that for edge probability $p \gg \frac{\log n}{n}$, the random graph $G(n,p)$ is…

An \emph{incompatibility system} $(G,\mathcal{F})$ consists of a graph $G$ and a family $\mathcal{F}=\{F_v\}_{v\in V(G)}$ over $G$ with $F_v\subseteq \{\{e,e'\}\in {E(G)\choose 2}: e\cap e'=\{v\}\}$. We say that two edges $e,e'\in E(G)$ are…

The renowned theorem of Dirac states that if $G$ is a graph with minimum degree at least $n/2$ then $G$ has a Hamilton cycle. A natural generalisation asks what properties of an edge-colouring of $G$ guarantee the existence of a properly…

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…

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…

A $k$-graph system $\textbf{H}=\{H_i\}_{i\in[m]}$ is a family of not necessarily distinct $k$-graphs on the same $n$-vertex set $V$ and a $k$-graph $H$ on $V$ is said to be $\textbf{H}$-transversal provided that there exists an injection…

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,…

One of the foundational theorems of extremal graph theory is Dirac's theorem, which says that if an n-vertex graph G has minimum degree at least n/2, then G has a Hamilton cycle, and therefore a perfect matching (if n is even). Later work…

In a sequence of four papers, we prove the following results (via a unified approach) for all sufficiently large $n$: (i) [1-factorization conjecture] Suppose that $n$ is even and $D\geq 2\lceil n/4\rceil -1$. Then every $D$-regular graph…

In 1970 Lov\'asz conjectured that every connected vertex-transitive graph admits a Hamilton cycle, apart from five exceptional graphs. This conjecture has recently been settled for graphs defined by intersecting set systems, which feature…

An $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a $C$-expander if $|N(X)|\geq C|X|$ for every $X\subseteq V(G)$ with $|X|< n/2C$ and there is an edge between every two disjoint sets of at least $n/2C$ vertices. We show that there is some constant $C>0$ for…

Finding general conditions which ensure that a graph is Hamiltonian is a central topic in graph theory. An old and well known conjecture in the area states that any $d$-regular $n$-vertex graph $G$ whose second largest eigenvalue in…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle which goes through all vertices exactly once. Determining if a graph is Hamiltonian is known as a NP-complete problem and no satisfactory characterization for these graphs has been found. In…

We show that for every $k \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists $C > 0$ such that if $p^k \ge C \log^8 n / n$ then asymptotically almost surely the random graph $G_{n,p}$ contains the $k$\textsuperscript{th} power of a Hamilton cycle. This…

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 tuple $(G_1,\dots,G_n)$ of graphs on the same vertex set of size $n$ is said to be Hamilton-universal if for every map $\chi: [n]\to[n]$ there exists a Hamilton cycle whose $i$-th edge comes from $G_{\chi(i)}$. Bowtell, Morris, Pehova and…

In this paper we consider the existence of Hamilton cycles and perfect matchings in a random graph model proposed by Krioukov et al.~in 2010. In this model, nodes are chosen randomly inside a disk in the hyperbolic plane and two nodes are…
