Woodall's circumference conjecture

Let GG) be a 2-connected graph on nn vertices, and let c(G)c(G) denote the length of a longest cycle in GG. Woodall's conjecture. If there are at least n2+k\frac{n}{2}+k vertices of degree at least kk, then

c(G)2k.c(G)\geq 2k.

This conjecture is proved in the paper as an application of the strengthened Erdős–Gallai theorem.
