Degree sequence condition for pancyclicity in tough graphs

Songling Shan, Zachary Warren

Let be an integer, and let be a -tough -vertex graph with degree sequence in non-decreasing order. In 1995, Hoàng conjectured that if $G…

Long Cycles in 2-Connected Tough Graphs

Songling Shan

Let be a graph. The circumference of , denoted by , is the length of a longest cycle in , or zero if is acyclic. In 1993, Broersma, van den Heuvel, Jung, and…

Non-Hamiltonian -Tough Plane Triangulations

Songling Shan

By Tutte's classic theorem of 1956 that every 4-connected planar graph is Hamiltonian, every planar graph of order at least three with toughness greater than is Hamil…

Triangle-Free Graphs of Toughness Approaching Two Without a 2-Factor

Songling Shan

By work of Enomoto, Jackson, Katerinis, and Saito from 1985, every -tough graph has a -factor, and this toughness bound is best possible: for every , there exi…

Hamilton cycles in tough -free graphs

Songling Shan, Arthur Tanyel

In 1973, Chvátal conjectured that there exists a constant such that every -tough graph on at least three vertices is Hamiltonian. While this conjecture is still open, wo…

Hamiltonian cycles in tough -free graphs

Songling Shan

In 1973, Chvátal conjectured that there exists a constant such that every -tough graph on at least three vertices is Hamiltonian. This conjecture has inspired extensive…

A strengthening of a degree sequence condition for Hamiltonicity in tough graphs

Songling Shan, Arthur Tanyel

Generalizing Chvátal's classic 1972 result, Hoàng proposed in 1995 the following conjecture, which strengthens Chvátal's result in terms of toughness: Let be a positive in…

Degree sequence condition for Hamiltonicity in tough graphs

Songling Shan, Arthur Tanyel

Generalizing both Dirac's condition and Ore's condition for Hamilton cycles, Chvátal in 1972 established a degree sequence condition for the existence of a Hamilton cycle in a grap…
