We present a new condition on the degree sums of a graph that implies the existence of a long cycle. Let c(G) denote the length of a longest cycle in the graph G and let rn be any positive integer. Suppose G is a 2-connected graph with vertices x,, . . . , x, and edge set E that satisfies the proper

Abstract
Let C be a longest cycle in the 3βconnected graph G and let H be a component of GβββV(C) such that |V(H)|ββ₯β3. We supply estimates of the form |C|ββ₯β2__d__(u)β+β2__d__(v)βββΞ±(4ββ€βΞ±ββ€β8), where u,v are suitably chosen nonβadjacent vertices in G. Also the exceptional classes for Ξ±β=β6,7,8 are characterized. Β© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory

## Abstract We show that every 1βtough graph __G__ on __n__ β₯ 3 vertices with Ο~3~β§ __n__ has a cycle of length at least min{__n, n__ + (Ο~3~/3 ) β Ξ± + 1}, where Ο~3~ denotes the minimum value of the degree sum of any 3 pairwise nonadjacent vertices and Ξ± the cardinality of a miximum independent se
Let G be a 2-connected d-regular graph on n rd (r 3) vertices and c(G) denote the circumference of G. Bondy conjectured that c(G) 2nΓ(r&1) if n is large enough. In this paper, we show that c(G) 2nΓ(r&1)+2(r&3)Γ(r&1) for any integer r 3. In particular, G is hamiltonian if r=3. This generalizes a resu
Let \(G\) be a 3-connected \(K_{1, d}\)-free graph on \(n\) vertices. We show that \(G\) contains a 3-connected spanning subgraph of maximum degree at most \(2 d-1\). Using an earlier result of ours, we deduce that \(G\) contains a cycle of length at least \(\frac{1}{2} n^{c}\) where \(c=\left(\log
## Abstract For a graph __G__, we denote by __d__~__G__~(__x__) and ΞΊ(__G__) the degree of a vertex __x__ in __G__ and the connectivity of __G__, respectively. In this article, we show that if __G__ is a 3βconnected graph of order __n__ such that __d__~__G__~(__x__) + __d__~__G__~(__y__) + __d__~__
