Häggkvist's Hamiltonicity conjecture for oriented graphs

About 3 years old · traced to

Let DD be an oriented graph on nn vertices. Define

δ∗(D)=δ(D)+δ+(D)+δ−(D).\delta^*(D)=\delta(D)+\delta^+(D)+\delta^-(D).

Häggkvist's conjecture. Every oriented graph DD with

δ∗(D)>3n−32\delta^*(D)>\frac{3n-3}{2}

is Hamiltonian.

This conjecture was verified approximately by Kelly: the weaker condition δ∗(D)≥(3/2+o(1))n\delta^*(D)\geq (3/2+o(1))n guarantees Hamiltonicity. The exact threshold stated here is therefore resolved according to the supplied status evidence.
