Let $a$ and $b$ be positive integers such that $a\leq b$ and $a\equiv b\pmod 2$. We say that $G$ has all $(a, b)$-parity factors if $G$ has an $h$-factor for every function $h: V(G) \rightarrow \{a,a+2,\ldots,b-2,b\}$ with $b|V(G)|$ even…

A (3,4)-biregular bigraph G is a bipartite graph where all vertices in one part have degree 3 and all vertices in the other part have degree 4. A path factor of G is a spanning subgraph whose components are nontrivial paths. We prove that a…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle which passes through every vertex of the graph exactly once. A classical theorem of Dirac from 1952 asserts that every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. We…

For a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{F}$-universal if $G$ contains every graph in $\mathcal{F}$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. For the family of all graphs on $n$ vertices and of maximum degree at most…

We provide an optimal sufficient condition, relating minimum degree and bandwidth, for a graph to contain a spanning subdivision of the complete bipartite graph $K_{2,\ell}$. This includes the containment of Hamilton paths and cycles, and…

An $H_n$-factor of a graph $G$ is defined to be a spanning subgraph $F$ of $G$ such that each vertex has degree belonging to the set $\{1,3,5,...,2n-1,2n\}$ in $F$. In this paper, we investigate $H_n$-factors of graphs by using Lov\'asz's…

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…

The $\{K_2,C_n\}$-factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph whose each component is either $K_2$ or $C_n$. In this paper, a sufficient condition with regard to tight toughness, isolated toughness and binding number bounds to guarantee the…

We show that for every $n\in\mathbb N$ and $\log n\le d\le n$, if a graph $G$ has $N=\Theta(dn)$ vertices and minimum degree $(1+o(1))\frac{N}{2}$, then it contains a spanning subdivision of every $n$-vertex $d$-regular graph.

Let G be a graph and let \Delta,\delta be the maximum and minimum degrees of G respectively, where \Delta/\delta<c<\sqrt{2} and c is a constant. In this paper we establish a sufficient spectral condition for the graph G to be Hamiltonian,…

For a graph $G$, let $f_2(G)$ denote the largest number of vertices in a $2$-regular subgraph of $G$. We determine the minimum of $f_2(G)$ over $3$-regular $n$-vertex simple graphs $G$. To do this, we prove that every $3$-regular multigraph…

A subgraph $H$ of a multigraph $G$ is overfull if $ |E(H) | > \Delta(G) \lfloor |V(H)|/2 \rfloor$. Analogous to the Overfull Conjecture proposed by Chetwynd and Hilton in 1986, Stiebitz et al. in 2012 formed the multigraph version of the…

For a graph $G$ and $p\in[0,1]$, we denote by $G_p$ the random sparsification of $G$ obtained by keeping each edge of $G$ independently, with probability $p$. We show that there exists a $C>0$ such that if $p\geq C(\log n)^{1/3}n^{-2/3}$…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with $n\ge 3$. A classic result of Dirac from 1952 asserts that $G$ is hamiltonian if $\delta(G)\ge n/2$. Dirac's theorem is one of the most influential results in the study of hamiltonicity and by now there…

For many types of graphs, criteria have been discovered that give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integer sequence to be the degree sequence of such a graph. These criteria tend to take the form of a set of inequalities, and in…

A near-factor of a finite simple graph $G$ is a matching that saturates all vertices except one. A graph $G$ is said to be near-factor-critical if the deletion of any vertex from $G$ results in a subgraph that has a near-factor. We prove…

In a graph $G$, a set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is called 2-dominating set if each vertex not in $D$ has at least two neighbors in $D$. The 2-domination number $\gamma_2(G)$ is the minimum cardinality of such a set $D$. We give a method for the…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical for integers $1\leq k < n$, if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph $G$ is called minimal if for any edge $e\in…
