Pósa–Seymour conjecture for powers of Hamilton cycles
Pósa–Seymour conjecture for powers of Hamilton cycles
Let be a graph on vertices, and let denote its minimum degree. The Pósa–Seymour conjecture. If
then contains the th power of a Hamilton cycle.
This conjecture determines the minimum degree threshold for forcing powers of Hamilton cycles in graphs. The source notes that Komlós, Sárközy and Szemerédi proved it for sufficiently large graphs; the stated finite formulation is therefore solved in the asymptotic sense described there.
