We present and prove several results concerning the length of longest cycles in 2connected or I-tough graphs with large degree sums. These results improve many known results on long cycles in these graphs. We also consider the sharpness of the results and discuss some possible strengthenings.

## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph on __n__ vertices and __N__~2~(__G__) denote the minimum size of __N__(__u__) βͺ __N__(__v__) taken over all pairs of independent vertices __u, v__ of __G__. We show that if __G__ is 3βconnected and __N__~2~(__G__) β©Ύ Β½(__n__ + 1), then __G__ has a Hamilton cycle. We
## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph of order __n__ and define __NC(G)__ = min{|__N__(__u__) βͺ __N__(__v__)| |__uv__ β __E__(__G__)}. A cycle __C__ of __G__ is called a __dominating cycle__ or __D__β__cycle__ if __V__(__G__) β __V__(__C__) is an independent set. A __D__β__path__ is defined analogously.
## Abstract It is shown that if in a simple graph __G__ of order __n__ the sum of degrees of any three pairwise nonβadjacent vertices is at least __n__, then there are two cycles (or one cycle and an edge or a vertex) of __GF__ that contain all the vertices. Β© 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
We give a sufficient condition for hamiltonism of a 2-connected graph involving the degree sum and the neighborhood intersection of any three independent vertices.
