In this note we prove that every 2-connected graph of order n with no repeated cycle lengths has at most n + 2(n -2) -1 edges and we show this result is best possible with the correct order of magnitude on β n. The 2connected case is also used to give a quick proof of Lai's result on the general cas

## Abstract An old conjecture of ErdΕs states that there exists an absolute constant __c__ and a set __S__ of density zero such that every graph of average degree at least __c__ contains a cycle of length in __S__. In this paper, we prove this conjecture by showing that every graph of average degre
The set of different cycle lengths of a graph G is denoted by C(G). We study how the distribution of C(G) depends on the minimum degree of G. We prove two results indicating that C(G) is dense in some sense. These results lead to the solution of a conjecture of Erdos and Hajnal stating that for suit
We show that for all positive E, an integer N(E) exists such that if G is any graph of order n>N(s) with minimum degree 63324 then G contains a cycle of length 21 for each integer 1, 2<1<~/(16+s). Bondy [4] and Woodall [15] have obtained sufficient conditions for a graph to contain cycles of each le
Bondy and Vince proved that every graph with minimum degree at least three contains two cycles whose lengths differ by one or two, which answers a question raised by Erdo Λs. By a different approach, we show in this paper that if G is a graph with minimum degree d(G) \ 3k for any positive integer k,
