## Abstract An old conjecture of Erdős 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

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 ˝s. 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,
Gyarf&, A., Graphs with k odd cycle lengths, Discrete Mathematics 103 (1992) 41-48. If G is a graph with k z 1 odd cycle lengths then each block of G is either KZk+2 or contains a vertex of degree at most 2k. As a consequence, the chromatic number of G is at most 2k + 2. For a graph G let L(G) deno
## Abstract Our main result is the following theorem. Let __k__ ≥ 2 be an integer, __G__ be a graph of sufficiently large order __n__, and __δ__(__G__) ≥ __n__/__k__. Then: __G__ contains a cycle of length __t__ for every even integer __t__ ∈ [4, __δ__(__G__) + 1]. If __G__ is nonbipartite then
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
