Let G be a graph with n vertices and minimum degree at least nΓ2, and let d be a positive integer such that d nΓ4. We define a distance between two vertices as the number of edges of a shortest path joining them. In this paper, we show that, for any vertex subset A with at most nΓ2d vertices, there

Abstract
Let G be a graph of order n and 3β€tβ€n/4 be an integer. Recently, Kaneko and Yoshimoto [J Combin Theory Ser B 81(1) (2001), 100β109] provided a sharp Ξ΄(G) condition such that for any set X of t vertices, G contains a hamiltonian cycle H so that the distance along H between any two vertices of X is at least n/2__t__. In this article, minimum degree and connectivity conditions are determined such that for any graph G of sufficiently large order n and for any set of t vertices XβV(G), there is a hamiltonian cycle H so that the distance along H between any two consecutive vertices of X is approximately n/t. Furthermore, the minimum degree threshold is determined for the existence of a hamiltonian cycle H such that the vertices of X appear in a prescribed order at approximately predetermined distances along H.

## Abstract Let __G__ be an undirected and simple graph on __n__ vertices. Let Ο, Ξ± and Ο denote the number of components, the independence number and the connectivity number of __G. G__ is called a 1βtough graph if Ο(__G__ β __S__) β©½ |__S__| for any subset __S__ of __V__(__G__) such that Ο(__G__ β
The problem is considered under which conditions a 4-connected planar or projective planar graph has a Hamiltonian cycle containing certain prescribed edges and missing certain forbidden edges. The results are applied to obtain novel lower bounds on the number of distinct Hamiltonian cycles that mus
It is proved that if a planar triangulation different from K3 and K4 contains a Hamiltonian cycle, then it contains at least four of them. Together with the result of Hakimi, Schmeichel, and Thomassen [21, this yields that, for n 2 12, the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles in a Hamiltonian planar
## Abstract In this article, we shall prove that every bipartite quadrangulation __G__ on the torus admits a simple closed curve visiting each face and each vertex of __G__ exactly once but crossing no edge. As an application, we conclude that the radial graph of any bipartite quadrangulation on th
The Kneser graph K (n, k) has as its vertex set all k-subsets of an n-set and two k-subsets are adjacent if they are disjoint. The odd graph O k is a special case of Kneser graph when n = 2k +1. A long standing conjecture claims that O k is hamiltonian for all k>2. We show that the prism over O k is
