Title
Cycles containing many vertices of large degree
Abstract
Let G be a 2-connected graph of order n , r a real number and V r = v ϵ V ( G )¦ d ( v )⩾ r . It is shown that G contains a cycle missing at most max {0, n − 2 r } vertices of V r , yielding a common generalization of a result of Dirac and one of Shi Ronghua. A stronger conclusion holds if r ⩾ 1 3 ( n +2): G contains a cycle C such that either V ( C )⊇ V r or ¦ V ( C )¦⩾2 r . This theorem extends a result of Häggkvist and Jackson and is proved by first showing that if r ⩾ 1 3 ( n +2), then G contains a cycle C for which ¦ V r ∩ V ( C )¦is maximal such that N ( x )⊆ V ( C ) whenever x ϵ V r − V ( C ) (∗). A result closely related to (∗) is stated and a result of Nash-Williams is extended using (∗).
