## Abstract For a graph __G__, let __p(G)__ denote the order of a longest path in __G__ and __c(G)__ the order of a longest cycle in __G__, respectively. We show that if __G__ is a 3βconnected graph of order __n__ such that $\textstyle{\sum^{4}\_{i=1}\,{\rm deg}\_{G}\,x\_{i} \ge {3\over2}\,n + 1}$

## Abstract We consider finite undirected loopless graphs __G__ in which multiple edges are possible. For integers k,l β₯ 0 let g(k, l) be the minimal __n__ β₯ 0 with the following property: If __G__ is an __n__βedgeβconnected graph, __s__~1~, β,__s__~k~, __t__~1~, β,__t__~k~ are vertices of __G__, a
## Abstract For a graph __G, p__(__G__) denotes the order of a longest path in __G__ and __c__(__G__) the order of a longest cycle. We show that if __G__ is a connected graph __n__ β₯ 3 vertices such that __d__(__u__) + __d__(__v__) + __d__(__w__) β§ n for all triples __u, v, w__ of independent verti
## Abstract We show that every __k__βconnected graph with no 3βcycle contains an edge whose contraction results in a __k__βconnected graph and use this to prove that every (__k__ + 3)βconnected graph contains a cycle whose deletion results in a __k__βconnected graph. This settles a problem of L. Lo
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 3Γ5 vertices, where cr0.2615. ## 1998 Academic Press In this note, we provide a lower bound on
