چکیده

Given integers k, s, t with 0 ≤ s ≤ t and k ≥ 0, a (k, t, s)-linear forest F is a graph that is the vertex disjoint union of t paths with a total of k edges and with s of the paths being single vertices. If the number of single vertex paths is not critical, the forest F will simply be called a (k, t)-linear forest. A graph G of order n ≥ k + t is (k, t)-hamiltonian if for any (k, t)-linear forest F there is a hamiltonian cycle containing F . More generally, given integers m and n with k+ t ≤ m ≤ n, a graph G of order n is (k, t, s,m)-pancyclic if for any (k, t, s)-linear forest F and for each integer r with m ≤ r ≤ n, there is a cycle of length r containing the linear forest F . Minimum degree conditions and minimum sum of degree conditions of nonadjacent vertices that imply a graph is (k, t, s,m)-pancyclic (or just (k, t,m)-pancyclic) are proved.

A note on uniquely pancyclic graphs

In this paper we consider uniquely pancyclic graphs, i.e. n vertex graphs with exactly one cycle of each length from 3 to n. The first result of the paper gives new upper and lower bounds on the number of edges in a uniquely pancyclic graph. Next we report on a computer search for new uniquely pancyclic graphs. We found that there are no new such graphs on n ≤ 59 vertices and that there are no ...

Strongly pancyclic and dual-pancyclic graphs

Say that a cycle C almost contains a cycle C− if every edge except one of C− is an edge of C. Call a graph G strongly pancyclic if every nontriangular cycle C almost contains another cycle C− and every nonspanning cycle C is almost contained in another cycle C. This is equivalent to requiring, in addition, that the sizes of C− and C differ by one from the size of C. Strongly pancyclic graphs ar...

On cycles in intersection graphs of rings

‎Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. ‎We describe all $C_3$‎- ‎and $C_4$-free intersection graph of non-trivial ideals of $R$ as well as $C_n$-free intersection graph when $R$ is a reduced ring. ‎Also, ‎we shall describe all complete, ‎regular and $n$-claw-free intersection graphs. ‎Finally, ‎we shall prove that almost all Artin rings $R$ have Hamiltonian intersection graphs. ...

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, ...

Geodesic-pancyclic graphs

A shortest path connecting two vertices u and v is called a u-v geodesic. The distance between u and v, denoted by dG(u, v), is the number of edges in a u-v geodesic. A graph G with n vertices is geodesic-pancyclic if for each pair of vertices u, v ∈ V (G), every u-v geodesic lies on every cycle of length k satisfying max{2dG(u, v), 3} ≤ k ≤ n. In this paper, we study the properties for graphs ...
