Title
Degree conditions and cycle extendability
Abstract
A non-Hamiltonian cycle C in a graph G is extendable if there is a cycle C ′ in G with V ( C ′) ⊃ V ( C ) with one more vertex than C . For any integer k ⩾ 0, a cycle C is k -chord extendable if it is extendable to the cycle C ′ using at most k of the chords of the cycle C . It will be shown that if G is a graph of order n , then δ ( G ) > 3 n /4 − 1 implies that any proper cycle is 0-chord extendable, δ ( G ) > 5 n /9 implies that any proper cycle is 1-chord extendable, and δ ( G ) > [ n /2] implies that any proper cycle is 2-chord extendable. Also, each of these results is sharp in the sense that the minimum degree condition cannot, in general, be lowered.
