Generalizing Pancyclic and k-Ordered Graphs

چکیده
Given positive integers k m n, a graphG of order n is ðk;mÞ-pancyclic if for any set of k vertices of G and any integer r with m r n, there is a cycle of length r containing the k vertices. Minimum degree conditions and minimum sum of degree conditions of nonadjacent vertices that imply a graph is ðk;mÞ-pancylic are proved. If the additional property that the k vertices must appear on the cycle in a specified order is required, then the graph is said to be ðk;mÞ-pancyclic ordered. Minimum degree conditions and minimum sum of degree conditions for nonadjacent vertices that imply a graph is ðk;mÞ-pancylic ordered are also proved. Examples showing that these constraints are best possible are provided.

Minimum Degree Conditions for Cycles Including Specified Sets of Vertices
This paper generalises the concept of vertex pancyclic graphs. We define a graph as set-pancyclic if for every set S of vertices there is a cycle of every possible length containing S. We show that if the minimum degree of a graph exceeds half its order then the graph is set-pancyclic. We define a graph as k-ordered-pancyclic if, for every set S of cardinality k and every cyclic ordering of S, ...
متن کاملMinimal Degree and (k, m)-Pancyclic Ordered Graphs
Given positive integers k £ m £ n, a graph G of order n is (k, m)-pancyclic ordered if for any set of k vertices of G and any integer r with m £ r £ n, there is a cycle of length r encountering the k vertices in a specified order. Minimum degree conditions that imply a graph of sufficiently large order n is (k, m)-pancylic ordered are proved. Examples showing that these constraints are best pos...
متن کاملWeakly pancyclic graphs
In generalizing the concept of a pancyclic graph, we say that a graph is ‘weakly pancyclic’ if it contains cycles of every length between the length of a shortest and a longest cycle. In this paper it is shown that in many cases the requirements on a graph which ensure that it is weakly pancyclic are considerably weaker than those required to ensure that it is pancyclic. This sheds some light o...
متن کاملOn k-path pancyclic graphs
For integers k and n with 2 ≤ k ≤ n− 1, a graph G of order n is k-path pancyclic if every path P of order k in G lies on a cycle of every length from k + 1 to n. Thus a 2-path pancyclic graph is edge-pancyclic. In this paper, we present sufficient conditions for graphs to be k-path pancyclic. For a graph G of order n ≥ 3, we establish sharp lower bounds in terms of n and k for (a) the minimum d...
متن کاملVertex Pancyclic Graphs
Let G be a graph of order n. A graph G is called pancyclic if it contains a cycle of length k for every 36 k6 n, and it is called vertex pancyclic if every vertex is contained in a cycle of length k for every 36 k6 n. In this paper, we shall present di0erent su1cient conditions for graphs to be vertex pancyclic. ? 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
