Title
Hamiltonian cycles with all small even chords
Abstract
Let G be a graph of order n>=3. An even squared Hamiltonian cycle (ESHC) of G is a Hamiltonian cycle C=v"1v"2...v"nv"1 of G with chords v"iv"i"+"3 for all [email protected][email protected]?n (where v"n"+"j=v"j for j>=1). When n is even, an ESHC contains all bipartite 2-regular graphs of order n. We prove that there is a positive integer N such that for every graph G of even order n>=N, if the minimum degree is @d(G)>=n2+92, then G contains an ESHC. We show that the condition of n being even cannot be dropped and the constant 92 cannot be replaced by 1. Our results can be easily extended to evenkth powered Hamiltonian cycles for all k>=2.
