A Note on Vertex-Disjoint Cycles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2002
Abstract
Häggkvist and Scott asked whether one can find a quadratic function q(k) such that, if G is a graph of minimum degree at least q(k), then G contains vertex-disjoint cycles of k consecutive even lengths. In this paper, it is shown that if G is a graph of average degree at least k2+19k+10 with sufficiently many vertices, then G contains vertex-disjoint cycles of k consecutive even lengths, answering the above question in the affirmative. The coefficient of k2 cannot be decreased and, in this sense, this result is best possible.
