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

In this article w e show that the standard results concerning longest paths and cycles in graphs can be improved for K,,,-free graphs. We obtain as a consequence of these results conditions for the existence of a hamiltonian path and cycle in K,,,-free graphs.
## Abstract For a graph __G__, we denote by __d__~__G__~(__x__) and ΞΊ(__G__) the degree of a vertex __x__ in __G__ and the connectivity of __G__, respectively. In this article, we show that if __G__ is a 3βconnected graph of order __n__ such that __d__~__G__~(__x__) + __d__~__G__~(__y__) + __d__~__
We show that every graph G on n vertices with minimal degree at least n / k contains a cycle of length at least [ n / ( k -111. This verifies a conjecture of Katchalski. When k = 2 our result reduces t o the classical theorem of Dirac that asserts that if all degrees are at least i n then G is Hamil
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 Ξ΄ and the toughness t. It is shown that C is a Hamiltonian cycle or |C| β₯ (t + 1)Ξ΄ + t.
