A graph is $P_8$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to the path $P_8$ on eight vertices. In 1995, Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s conjectured that every graph of minimum degree at least three contains a cycle whose length is a…
Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'arf\'as conjectured in 1994 that every graph with minimum degree at least 3 has a cycle of length a power of 2. In 2022, Gao and Shan (Graphs and Combinatorics) proved that the conjecture is true for $P_8$-free graphs,…
The Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s conjecture states that every graph with minimum degree at least three has a cycle whose length is a power of 2. Since this conjecture has proven to be far from reach, Hobbs asked if the…
In this short note it is shown that every graph of diameter 2 and minimum degree at least 3 contains a cycle of length 4 or 8. This result contributes to the study of the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as Conjecture by confirming it for the class of…
We study graphs on $n$ vertices which have $2n-2$ edges and no proper induced subgraphs of minimum degree $3$. Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Gy\'arf\'as, and Schelp conjectured that such graphs always have cycles of lengths $3,4,5,\dots, C(n)$ for…
A minimal counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as conjecture is a graph of minimum possible order and size with minimum degree at least 3 that contains no cycle whose length is a power of 2. Markstr\"om observed that any such graph must…
Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph contains a subset of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2/50$ edges. Extending a recent result of Norin and Yepremyan, we confirm this conjecture for graphs…
In this paper, we prove a tight minimum degree condition in general graphs for the existence of paths between two given endpoints, whose lengths form a long arithmetic progression with common difference one or two. This allows us to obtain…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a given finite (possibly empty) family of connected graphs, each containing a cycle, and let $G$ be an arbitrary finite $\mathcal{H}$-free graph with minimum degree at least $k$. For $p \in [0,1]$, we form a $p$-random…
Erd\H{o}s posed the problem of finding conditions on a graph $G$ that imply the largest number of edges in a triangle-free subgraph is equal to the largest number of edges in a bipartite subgraph. We generalize this problem to general…
In a graph, $k$ cycles are {\em admissible} if their lengths form an arithmetic progression with common difference one or two. Let $G$ be a 2-connected graph with minimum degree at least $k\geqslant 4$. We prove that \begin{itemize} \item…
Let C(G) denote the set of lengths of cycles in a graph G. In the first part of this paper, we study the minimum possible value of |C(G)| over all graphs G of average degree d and girth g. Erdos conjectured that |C(G)| =\Omega(d^{\lfloor…
Bondy and Vince proved that a graph of minimum degree at least three contains two cycles whose lengths differ by one or two, which was conjectured by Erd\H{o}s. Gao, Li, Ma and Xie gave an average degree counterpart of Bondy-Vince's result,…
Dean conjectured three decades ago that every graph with minimum degree at least $k\ge 3$ contains a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$. While the conjecture has been verified for $k\in \{3,4\}$, it remains open for $k\ge 5$. A weaker…
One way to certify that a graph does not contain an induced cycle of length six is to provide a partition of its vertex set into (i) a stable set, and (ii) a graph containing no stable set of size three and no induced matching of size two.…
In 1975, Erd\H{o}s asked the following natural question: What is the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex graph can have without containing a cycle with all diagonals? Erd\H{o}s observed that the upper bound $O(n^{5/3})$ holds since…
Dean conjectured that for each integer $k \ge 3$, every graph with minimum degree at least $k$ has a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$; this conjecture is known to be true for all $k\neq 5$. For $k\in\{3,4\}$, stronger statements are…
A well known theorem in graph theory states that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least $d$ contains a path of length at least $d$, and if $G$ is connected and $n\ge 2d+1$ then $G$ contains a path of length at least…
A celebrated theorem of Stiebitz asserts that any graph with minimum degree at least $s+t+1$ can be partitioned into two parts which induce two subgraphs with minimum degree at least $s$ and $t$, respectively. This resolved a conjecture of…
A chordless cycle, or equivalently a hole, in a graph $G$ is an induced subgraph of $G$ which is a cycle of length at least $4$. We prove that the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property holds for chordless cycles, which resolves the major open question…
