Abstract
We give proofs of Ore's theorem on Hamilton circuits, Brooks' theorem on vertex coloring, and Vizing's theorem on edge coloring, as well as the ChvΓ‘talβLovΓ‘sz theorem on semiβkernels, a theorem of Lu on spanning arborescences of tournaments, and a theorem of Gutin on diameters of orientations of graphs. These proofs, while not radically different from existing ones, are perhaps simpler and more natural. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 44: 159β165, 2003

In this note, w e give a short proof of a stronger version of the following theorem: Let G be a 2-connected graph of order n such that for any independent set {u, u , w}, then G is hamiltonian. 0 1996 John
For an undirected graph G=(V, E) and a collection S of disjoint subsets of V, an S-path is a path connecting different sets in S. We give a short proof of Mader's min-max theorem for the maximum number of disjoint S-paths. 2001
We present a new proof of the well known theorem on the existence of signed (integral) t-designs due to Wilson and Graver and Jurkat.
