We prove the following theorem. "I'neorem. If G is a balanced bipartite graph with bipartition (A, B), [A I = IBI = n, such that for any x ~ A, y ~ B, d(x) + d(y) >>-n + 2, then for any (nl, n2), ni >I 2, n -----n I + hE, G contains two independent cycles of lengths 2nl and 2n2.

โฆ Synopsis
Let D = (V1, V2; A) be a directed bipartite graph with II/11 = 11/21 = n ~> 2. Suppose that do(x) + do(y) >~ 3n + 1 for all xe I/1 and ye V2. Then D contains two vertex-disjoint directed cycles of lengths 2nl and 2n2, respectively, for any positive integer partition n = n~ + n2. Moreover, the condition is sharp for even n and nearly sharp for odd n.

## Abstract Given a connected directed graph and a spanning tree, we consider the problem of finding the set of fundamental cycles. In particular, for each cotree arc __i__ and tree arc __j__, we need to know whether or not __i__ and __j__ are in the same fundamental cycle, and if so, whether or no
We say a digraph G is hyperhamiltonian if there is a spanning closed walk in G which passes through one vertex exactly twice and all others exactly once. We show the Cartesian product Z, x Z, of two directed cycles is hyperhamiltonian if and only if there are positive integers rn and n with ma + nb
