In this article, we establish bounds for the length of a longest cycle C in a 2-connected graph G in terms of the minimum degree ฮด and the toughness t. It is shown that C is a Hamiltonian cycle or |C| โฅ (t + 1)ฮด + t.

It is well-known that the largest cycles of a graph may have empty intersection. This is the case, for example, for any hypohamiltonian graph. In the literature, several important classes of graphs have been shown to contain examples with the above property. This paper investigates a (nontrivial) cl
We describe a general sufficient condition for a Hamiltonian graph to contain another Hamiltonian cycle. We apply it to prove that every longest cycle in a 3-connected cubic graph has a chord. We also verify special cases of an old conjecture of Sheehan on Hamiltonian cycles in 4-regular graphs and
In this paper we obtain two sufficient conditions, Ore type (Theorem 1) and Dirac type (Theorem 2). on the degrees of a bipartite oriented graph for ensuring the existence of long paths and cycles. These conditions are shown to be the best possible in a sense. An oriented graph is a digraph without
Let G be a connected graph, where k 2. S. Smith conjectured that every two longest cycles of G have at least k vertices in common. In this note, we show that every two longest cycles meet in at least ck 3ร5 vertices, where cr0.2615. ## 1998 Academic Press In this note, we provide a lower bound on
