A geodesic in a graph G is a shortest path between two vertices of G. For a specific function e(n) of n, we define an almost geodesic cycle C in G to be a cycle in which for every two vertices u and v in C, the distance d G (u, v) is at least d C (u, v)-e(n). Let (n) be any function tending to infin
Let G be chosen uniformly at random from the set G G r, n of r-regular graphs w x Ž . with vertex set n . We describe polynomial time algorithms that whp i find a Ž . Hamilton cycle in G, and ii approximately count the number of Hamilton cycles in G.
## Abstract We show that if __G__ is a 4‐connected claw‐free graph in which every induced hourglass subgraph __S__ contains two non‐adjacent vertices with a common neighbor outside __S__, then __G__ is hamiltonian. This extends the fact that 4‐connected claw‐free, hourglass‐free graphs are hamilton
## Abstract M. Matthews and D. Sumner have proved that of __G__ is a 2‐connected claw‐free graph of order __n__ such that δ ≧ (__n__ − 2)/3, then __G__ is hamiltonian. We prove that the bound for the minimum degree δ can be reduced to __n__/4 under the additional condition that __G__ is not in __F_
## Abstract We show that every __k__‐connected graph with no 3‐cycle contains an edge whose contraction results in a __k__‐connected graph and use this to prove that every (__k__ + 3)‐connected graph contains a cycle whose deletion results in a __k__‐connected graph. This settles a problem of L. Lo
