We provide a method for the generation of effective continuum Hamiltonians that goes beyond the well known k.p method in being equally effective in both high, and low (or no) symmetry situations. Our approach is based on a surprising exact…

Consider a host hypergraph $G$ which contains a spanning structure due to minimum degree considerations. We collect three results proving that if the edges of $G$ are sampled at the appropriate rate then the spanning structure still appears…

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…

We prove a robust version of a graph embedding theorem of Sauer and Spencer. To state this sparser analogue, we define $G(p)$ to be a random subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p \in…

Real-world networks often exhibit strong transitivity with nontrivial local clustering spectra and degree correlations. Such features are not easily modeled in tractable network models, creating an obstacle to the theoretical understanding…

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 $k\geq1,$…

Given connected graph $H$ which is not a star, we show that the number of copies of $H$ in a dense uniformly random regular graph is asymptotically Gaussian, which was not known even for $H$ being a triangle. This addresses a question of…

Inhomogeneous random graphs are fundamental models for real-world networks, where prescribed degrees are imposed as soft constraints. A common assumption in such models is that the degree distribution follows a power-law, capturing the…

Finding Hamitonian Cycles in square grid graphs is a well studied and important questions. More recent work has extended these results to triangular and hexagonal grids, as well as further restricted versions. In this paper, we examine a…

We study the appearance of powers of Hamilton cycles in pseudorandom graphs, using the following comparatively weak pseudorandomness notion. A graph $G$ is $(\varepsilon,p,k,\ell)$-pseudorandom if for all disjoint $X$ and $Y\subset V(G)$…

For each $k \geq 3$ and $1 \leq \ell \leq k-1$ we give an asymptotically best possible minimum positive codegree condition for the existence of a Hamilton $\ell$-cycle in a $k$-uniform hypergraph. This result exhibits an interesting duality…

A graph admitting a perfect matching has the Perfect-Matching-Hamiltonian property (for short the PMH-property) if each of its perfect matchings can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle. In this paper we establish some sufficient conditions…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n\geq 3$ vertices. A graph $G$ is almost distance-hereditary if each connected induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ has the property $d_{H}(x,y)\leq d_{G}(x,y)+1$ for any pair of vertices $x,y\in V(H)$. A graph $G$ is called…

The famous P\'{o}sa-Seymour conjecture, confirmed in 1998 by Koml\'{o}s, S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy, and Szemer\'{e}di, states that for any $k \geq 2$, every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $kn/(k + 1)$ contains the $k$-th power of a…

We study Ramsey properties of randomly perturbed $3$-uniform hypergraphs. For~$t\geq 2$, write $\tilde K^{(3)}_t$ to denote the $3$-uniform {\it expanded} clique hypergraph obtained from the complete graph $K_t$ by expanding each of the…

For any even integer $k\ge 6$, integer $d$ such that $k/2\le d\le k-1$, and sufficiently large $n\in (k/2)\mathbb N$, we find a tight minimum $d$-degree condition that guarantees the existence of a Hamilton $(k/2)$-cycle in every…

We show that for $ \eta>0 $ and sufficiently large $ n $, every 5-graph on $ n $ vertices with $\delta_{2}(H)\ge (91/216+\eta)\binom{n}{3}$ contains a Hamilton 2-cycle. This minimum 2-degree condition is asymptotically best possible.…

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…

P\'osa's theorem states that any graph $G$ whose degree sequence $d_1 \le \ldots \le d_n$ satisfies $d_i \ge i+1$ for all $i < n/2$ has a Hamilton cycle. This degree condition is best possible. We show that a similar result holds for…

For any $k\ge 3$ and $\ell \in [k-1]$ such that $(k,\ell) \ne (3,1)$, we show that any sufficiently large $k$-graph $G$ must contain a Hamilton $\ell$-cycle provided that it has no isolated vertices and every set of $k-1$ vertices contained…
