Abstract
We give a sufficient condition for a simple graph G to have k pairwise edgeβdisjoint cycles, each of which contains a prescribed set W of vertices. The condition is that the induced subgraph G[W] be 2__k__βconnected, and that for any two vertices at distance two in G[W], at least one of the two has degree at least |V(G)|/2β+β2(kβββ1) in G. This is a common generalization of special cases previously obtained by BollobΓ‘s/Brightwell (where kβ=β1) and Li (where Wβ=βV(G)). A key lemma is of independent interest. Let G be the complement of a bipartite graph with partite sets X, Y. If G is 2__k__ connected, then G contains k Hamilton cycles that are pairwise edgeβdisjoint except for edges in G[Y].

## Abstract Enomoto 7 conjectured that if the minimum degree of a graph __G__ of order __n__ββ₯β4__k__ β 1 is at least the integer $ \left \lfloor \sqrt{n+\left (\,{9 \over 4}k^2 - 4k + 1\right)} \,+ {3 \over 2}k - 1 \right \rfloor$, then for any __k__ vertices, __G__ contains __k__ vertexβdisjoint
## Abstract A weighted graph is one in which every edge __e__ is assigned a nonnegative number, called the weight of __e__. The sum of the weights of the edges incident with a vertex Ο is called the weighted degree of Ο . The weight of a cycle is defined as the sum of the weights of its edges. In th
P Γ³sa proved that if G is an n-vertex graph in which any two nonadjacent vertices have degree-sum at least n+k, then G has a spanning cycle containing any specified family of disjoint paths with a total of k edges. We consider the analogous problem for a bipartite graph G with n vertices and parts o
