We propose inhomogeneous random K-out graphs $\mathbb{H}(n; \pmb{\mu}, \pmb{K}_n)$, where each of the $n$ nodes is assigned to one of $r$ classes independently with a probability distribution $\pmb{\mu} = \{\mu_1, \ldots, \mu_r\}$. In…

We investigate the asymptotic structure of a random perfect graph $P_n$ sampled uniformly from the perfect graphs on vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Our approach is based on the result of Pr\"omel and Steger that almost all perfect graphs are…

For given graphs $G$ and $H$, let $|Hom(G,H)|$ denote the set of graph homomorphisms from $G$ to $H$. We show that for any finite, $n$-regular, bipartite graph $G$ and any finite graph $H$ (perhaps with loops), $|Hom(G,H)|$ is maximum when…

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,…

A conjecture of Carsten Thomassen states that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian. It is known that the conjecture is true for 7-connected line graphs. We improve this by showing that any 5-connected line graph of minimum degree at…

The $k$-coprime graph of order $n$ is the graph with vertex set $\{k, k+1, \ldots, k+n-1\}$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are coprime. We characterize Hamiltonian $k$-coprime graphs. As a particular case, two…

We revisit results obtained in [F. Harary, U. Peled, Hamiltonian threshold graphs, Discrete Appl.~Math., 16 (1987), 11--15], where several necessary and necessary and sufficient conditions for a connected threshold graph to be Hamiltonian…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The double vertex graph $F_2(G)$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the $2$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_2(G)$ if their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent…

A class A of labelled graphs is bridge-addable if for all graphs G in A and all vertices u and v in distinct connected components of G, the graph obtained by adding an edge between u and u is also in A; the class A is monotone if for all G…

Fullerene graphs, i.e., 3-connected planar cubic graphs with pentagonal and hexagonal faces, are conjectured to be Hamiltonian. This is a special case of a conjecture of Barnette and Goodey, stating that 3-connected planar graphs with faces…

We show that every $3$-connected $\{K_{1,3},\Gamma_3\}$-free graph is Hamilton-connected, where $\Gamma_3$ is the graph obtained by joining two vertex-disjoint triangles with a path of length $3$. This resolves one of the two last open…

We show that under certain conditions the square of the graph obtained by identifying a vertex in two graphs with hamiltonian square is also hamiltonian. Using this result, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for hamiltonicity of…

Let $\Phi(x,y)\in\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ be a symmetric polynomial of partial degree $d$. The graph $G(\Phi)$ is defined by taking $\mathbb{C}$ as set of vertices and the points of $\mathbb{V}(\Phi(x,y))$ as edges. We study the following problem:…

Motivated by Thomassen's well-known line graph conjecture, many researchers have explored sufficient conditions for claw-free graphs to be Hamiltonian or Hamilton-connected. In 1994, Ageev proved that every $2$-connected claw-free graph…

Let $H$ be an $n$-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph such that every pair of vertices is in at least $n/3+o(n)$ edges. We show that $H$ contains two vertex-disjoint tight paths whose union covers the vertex set of $H$. The quantity two here is…

Yang et al. proved that every 3-connected, essentially 11-connected line graph is Hamilton-connected. This was extended by Li and Yang to 3-connected, essentially 10-connected graphs. Strengthening their result further, we prove that…

For a connected graph, a path containing all vertices is known as \emph{Hamiltonian path}. For general graphs, there is no known necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Hamiltonian paths and the complexity of finding a…

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…

An st-path is a path with the end-vertices s and t. An s-path is a path with an end-vertex s. The results of this paper include necessary and sufficient conditions for a {claw, net}-free graph G with given two different vertices s, t and an…

Let $\{G_M\}_{M\geq 0}$ be the random graph process, where $G_0$ is the empty graph on $n$ vertices and subsequent graphs in the sequence are obtained by adding a new edge uniformly at random. For each $\varepsilon>0$, we show that, almost…
