Abstract: We prove two sharp sufficient conditions for hamiltonian cycles in balanced bipartite directed graph. Let D be a strongly connected balanced bipartite directed graph of order 2a. Let x,y be distinct vertices in D. x,y dominates a vertex z if xightarrowz and yightarrowz; in this case, we call the pair x,y dominating. (i) {it If ageq4 and maxd(x),d(y)geq2a1 for every dominating pair of vertices x,y, then either D is hamiltonian or D is isomorphic to one exceptional digraph of order eight.} (ii) {it If ageq5 and d(x)+d(y)geq4a3 for every dominating pair of vertices x,y, then D is hamiltonian.} The first result improves a theorem of R. Wang (arXiv:1506.07949 [math.CO]), the second result, in particular, establishes a conjecture due to Bang-Jensen, Gutin and Li (J. Graph Theory , 22(2), 1996) for strongly connected balanced bipartite digraphs of order at least ten.
