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 $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices whose minimum $(k-2)$-degree is at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle. A construction due to Han and Zhao shows that this minimum degree condition is optimal. The…

We show that every 4-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and minimum pair degree at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a tight Hamiltonian cycle. This degree condition is asymptotically optimal.

Chen et al. proved that every 18-tough chordal graph has a Hamilton cycle [Networks 31 (1998), 29-38]. Improving upon their bound, we show that every 10-tough chordal graph is Hamiltonian (in fact, Hamilton-connected). We use Aharoni and…

We study structural conditions in dense graphs that guarantee the existence of vertex-spanning substructures such as Hamilton cycles. It is easy to see that every Hamiltonian graph is connected, has a perfect fractional matching and,…

In 1960, Ghouila-Houri extended Dirac's theorem to directed graphs by proving that if D is a directed graph on n vertices with minimum out-degree and in-degree at least n/2 (i.e. minimum semi-degree at least n/2), then D contains a directed…

Hamiltonian cycles in graphs were first studied in the 1850s. Since then, an impressive amount of research has been dedicated to identifying classes of graphs that allow Hamiltonian cycles, and to related questions. The corresponding…

Consider the random subgraph process on a base graph $G$ with $n$ vertices: we generate a sequence $\{G_t\}_{t=0}^{|E(G)|}$ by taking a uniformly random ordering of the edges of $G$ and then adding these edges one by one to the empty graph…

In this paper we consider the existence of Hamilton cycles in the random graph $G=G_{n,m}^{\delta\geq 3}$. This a random graph chosen uniformly from the set of graphs with vertex set $[n]$, $m$ edges and minimum degree at least 3. Our…

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…

Ore's Theorem states that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph and every pair of non-adjacent vertices has degree sum at least $n$, then $G$ is Hamiltonian. A $[3]$-graph is a hypergraph in which every edge contains at most $3$ vertices. In this…

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…

Among the well-known sufficient degree conditions for the Hamiltonicity of a finite graph, the condition of Asratian and Khachatrian is the weakest and thus gives the strongest result. Diestel conjectured that it should extend to locally…

For $0\leq \ell <k$, a Hamiltonian $\ell$-cycle in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is a cyclic ordering of the vertices of $H$ in which the edges are segments of length $k$ and every two consecutive edges overlap in exactly $\ell$ vertices. We…

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…

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.…

Deciding if a graph is a Hamilton graph, also named the Hamilton cycle problem, is important for discrete mathematics and computer science. Due to no characterization to identify Hamilton graphs effectively, there are no tractable…

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…

In 1990, Hendry conjectured that all Hamiltonian chordal graphs are cycle extendable. After a series of papers confirming the conjecture for a number of graph classes, the conjecture is yet refuted by Lafond and Seamone in 2015. Given that…

In 2003, Bohman, Frieze, and Martin initiated the study of randomly perturbed graphs and digraphs. For digraphs, they showed that for every $\alpha>0$, there exists a constant $C$ such that for every $n$-vertex digraph of minimum…
