In this paper we obtain two sufficient conditions, Ore type (Theorem 1) and Dirac type (Theorem 2). on the degrees of a bipartite oriented graph for ensuring the existence of long paths and cycles. These conditions are shown to be the best possible in a sense. An oriented graph is a digraph without

β¦ Synopsis
We consider the cocircuit graph G M of an oriented matroid M, which is the 1-skeleton of the cell complex formed by the span of the cocircuits of M. As a result of Cordovil, Fukuda, and Guedes de Oliveira, the isomorphism class of M is not determined by G M , but it is determined if M is uniform and the vertices in G M are paired if they are associated to negative cocircuits; furthermore the reorientation class of an oriented matroid M with rank(M) β₯ 2 is determined by G M if every vertex in G M is labeled by the zero support of the associated cocircuit. In this paper we show that the isomorphism class of a uniform oriented matroid is determined by the cocircuit graph, and we present polynomial algorithms which provide constructive proofs to all these results. Furthermore it is shown that the correctness of the input of the algorithms can be verified in polynomial time.

We apply proof techniques developed by L. Lovasz and A. Frank to obtain several results on the arc-connectivity of graphs and digraphs. The first results concern the operation of splitting two arcs from a vertex of an Eulerian graph or digraph in such a way as to preserve local connectivity conditio
ErdΕs has conjectured that every subgraph of the n-cube Q n having more than (1/2+o(1))e(Q n ) edges will contain a 4-cycle. In this note we consider 'layer' graphs, namely, subgraphs of the cube spanned by the subsets of sizes k -1, k and k + 1, where we are thinking of the vertices of Q n as being
