Spectral radius and Hamiltonicity of graphs with large minimum degree.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper presents sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian paths and cycles in graphs. Letting lambdaleft(Gight) denote the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph G, the main results of the paper are: (1) Let kgeq1, ngeqk3/2+k+4, and let G be a graph of order n, with minimum degree deltaleft(Gight)geqk. If [ lambdaleft( G ight) geq n-k-1, ] then G has a Hamiltonian cycle, unless G=K1vee(Knk1+Kk) or G=Kkvee(Kn2k+overlineKk). (2) Let kgeq1, ngeqk3/2+k2/2+k+5, and let G be a graph of order n, with minimum degree deltaleft(Gight)geqk. If [ lambdaleft( G ight) geq n-k-2, ] then G has a Hamiltonian path, unless G=Kkvee(Kn2k1+overlineKk+1) or G=Knk1+Kk+1 In addition, it is shown that in the above statements, the bounds on n are tight within an additive term not exceeding 2.
