Balogh–Barát–Gerbner–Gyárfás–Sárközy cycle-partition conjecture

Let GG be a graph on nn vertices with a red-blue coloring of its edges. A partition into cycles is a collection of vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles spanning V(G)V(G).

Balogh–Barát–Gerbner–Gyárfás–Sárközy conjecture. If

δ(G)>3n4,\delta(G)>\frac{3n}{4},

then GG has a partition into a red cycle and a blue cycle.

This is the minimum-degree analogue of Lehel's conjecture for complete graphs. The paper proves the result under the asymptotically weaker condition δ(G)>(3/4+o(1))n\delta(G)>(3/4+o(1))n, while the exact threshold stated here remains open in the source.
