Given an $n$ vertex graph whose edges have colored from one of $r$ colors $C=\{c_1,c_2,\ldots,c_r\}$, we define the Hamilton cycle color profile $hcp(G)$ to be the set of vectors $(m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_r)\in [0,n]^r$ such that there exists a…

We design a randomized algorithm that finds a Hamilton cycle in $\mathcal{O}(n)$ time with high probability in a random graph $G_{n,p}$ with edge probability $p\ge C \log n / n$. This closes a gap left open in a seminal paper by Angluin and…

An antidirected cycle in a digraph $G$ is a subdigraph whose underlying graph is a cycle, and in which no two consecutive edges form a directed path in $G$. Let $\sigma_{+-}(G)$ be the minimum value of $d^+(x)+d^-(y)$ over all pairs of…

A monotone cylindrical graph is a topological graph drawn on an open cylinder with an infinite vertical axis satisfying the condition that every vertical line intersects every edge at most once. It is called simple if any pair of its edges…

Let $Y_{3,2}$ be the $3$-uniform hypergraph with two edges intersecting in two vertices. Our main result is that any $n$-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph with at least $\binom{n}{3} - \binom{n-m+1}{3} + o(n^3)$ edges contains a collection of $m$…

For an oriented graph $G$, the oriented discrepancy problem concerns the existence of a spanning subgraph of $G$ with a large imbalance between its forward and backward edge orientations. Freschi and Lo proved the Dirac-type Hamilton cycle…

In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for the existence of a Hamilton cycle, which is applicable to a wide variety of graphs, including relatively sparse graphs. In contrast to previous criteria, ours is based on only two…

Over 50 years ago, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai conjectured that the edges of every graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into $O(n)$ cycles and edges. Among other results, Conlon, Fox and Sudakov recently proved that this holds for the random…

We prove two sharp sufficient conditions for hamiltonian cycles in balanced bipartite directed graph. Let $D$ be a strongly connected balanced bipartite directed graph of order $2a$. Let $x,y$ be distinct vertices in $D$. $\{x,y\}$…

Suppose $G$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices such that every $(k-1)$-subset $S$ of $V(G)$ belongs to at least $\delta n$ edges, where $\delta> 1/2$. Let $\Psi(G)$ denote the number of tight Hamilton cycles in $G$, that is, cyclic…

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…

We consider a robust variant of Dirac-type problems in $k$-uniform hypergraphs. For instance, we prove that if $H$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph with minimum codegree at least $(1/2 + \gamma )n$, $\gamma >0$, and $n$ is sufficiently large,…
