Abstract

Let G be a graph of order n satisfying d(u) + d(v) n for every edge uv of G. We show that the circumference - the length of a longest cycle - of G can be expressed in terms of a certain graph parameter, and can be computed in polynomial time. Moreover, we show that G contains cycles of every length between 3 and the circumference, unless G is complete bipartite. If G is 1-tough then it is pancyclic or G = Kr,r with r = n/2.
