A graph is $P_8$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to the path $P_8$ on eight vertices. In 1995, Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s conjectured that every graph of minimum degree at least three contains a cycle whose length is a…

Let $P_{10}$ be a path on $10$ vertices. A graph is said to be $P_{10}$-free if it does not contain $P_{10}$ as an induced subgraph. The well-known Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s Conjecture states that every graph with minimum degree at least…

The Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s conjecture states that every graph with minimum degree at least three has a cycle whose length is a power of 2. Since this conjecture has proven to be far from reach, Hobbs asked if the…

In this short note it is shown that every graph of diameter 2 and minimum degree at least 3 contains a cycle of length 4 or 8. This result contributes to the study of the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as Conjecture by confirming it for the class of…

We study graphs on $n$ vertices which have $2n-2$ edges and no proper induced subgraphs of minimum degree $3$. Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Gy\'arf\'as, and Schelp conjectured that such graphs always have cycles of lengths $3,4,5,\dots, C(n)$ for…

For a 2-connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and two vertices $x,y\in V(G)$, we prove that there is an $(x,y)$-path of length at least $k$ if there are at least $\frac{n-1}{2}$ vertices in $V(G)\backslash \{x,y\}$ of degree at least $k$.…

A minimal counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as conjecture is a graph of minimum possible order and size with minimum degree at least 3 that contains no cycle whose length is a power of 2. Markstr\"om observed that any such graph must…

Let C(G) denote the set of lengths of cycles in a graph G. In the first part of this paper, we study the minimum possible value of |C(G)| over all graphs G of average degree d and girth g. Erdos conjectured that |C(G)| =\Omega(d^{\lfloor…

In this paper, we prove a tight minimum degree condition in general graphs for the existence of paths between two given endpoints, whose lengths form a long arithmetic progression with common difference one or two. This allows us to obtain…

One way to certify that a graph does not contain an induced cycle of length six is to provide a partition of its vertex set into (i) a stable set, and (ii) a graph containing no stable set of size three and no induced matching of size two.…

Bondy and Vince proved that a graph of minimum degree at least three contains two cycles whose lengths differ by one or two, which was conjectured by Erd\H{o}s. Gao, Li, Ma and Xie gave an average degree counterpart of Bondy-Vince's result,…

In 1962 P\'osa conjectured that every graph G on n vertices with minimum degree at least 2n/3 contains the square of a hamiltonian cycle. In 1996 Fan and Kierstead proved the path version of P\'osa's Conjecture. They also proved that it…

A set of n points in the plane which are not all collinear defines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured in 2008 that a similar result can be achieved in the broader context of finite metric spaces. This conjecture…

In 1959, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai proved that every graph G with average vertex degree ad(G)\geq 2 contains a cycle of length at least ad(G). We provide an algorithm that for k\geq 0 in time 2^{O(k)} n^{O(1)} decides whether a 2-connected…

We prove a conjecture of Yuster and Caro about the sum of the p-powers of the degrees of a graph of order n without a specified even cycle. Our proof is based on a new sufficient condition for long paths, that may be useful in other…

Let us say a graph is $s\mathcal{O}$-free, where $s\ge 1$ is an integer, if there do not exist $s$ cycles of the graph that are pairwise vertex-disjoint and have no edges joining them. The structure of such graphs, even when $s=2$, is not…

The Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture says that, for every graph $H$, there exists $c>0$ such that every $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices has a clique or stable set of size at least $n^c$. In this paper we are concerned with the case when $H$ is a…

Liu and Ma [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2018] conjectured that every $2$-connected non-bipartite graph with minimum degree at least $k+1$ contains $\lceil k/2\rceil $ cycles with consecutive odd lengths. In particular, they showed that this…

An induced packing of cycles in a graph is a set of vertex-disjoint cycles with no edges between them. We generalise the classic Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa theorem to induced packings of cycles. More specifically, we show that there exist functions…

In this paper, we prove similar results for odd and even cycle lengths. Let $L_o(G)$ denote the set of odd cycle lengths of $G$ and $\ell_o(G)$ denote the longest odd cycle length. In 1992, Gy\'arf\'as proved that $\chi(G)\leq 2|L_o(G)|+2$,…
