We first show that if a 2-connected graph G of order n is such that for each two vertices u and v such that δ = d(u) and d(v) < n/2 the edge uv belongs to E(G), then G is hamiltonian. Next, by using this result, we prove that a graph G satysfying the above condition is either pancyclic or isomorphic to .
In this paper we address the two-dimensional knapsack problem with unloading constraints: we have a bin B, and a list L of n rectangular items, each item with a class value in {1,...,C}. The problem is to pack a subset of L into B, maximizing the total profit of packed items, where the packing must satisfy the unloading constraint: while removing one item a, items with higher class values can not block a. We present a (4 + ϵ)-approximation algorithm when the bin is a square. We also present (3 + ϵ)-approximation...
The problem of finding minimal vertex number of graphs with a given automorphism group is addressed in this article for the case of cyclic groups. This problem was considered earlier by other authors. We give a construction of an undirected graph having vertices and automorphism group cyclic of order , . As a special case we get graphs with vertices and cyclic automorphism groups of order . It can revive interest in related problems.
We prove that every vertex v of a tournament T belongs to at least arc-disjoint cycles, where δ⁺(T) (or δ¯(T)) is the minimum out-degree (resp. minimum in-degree) of T, and (or ) is the out-degree (resp. in-degree) of v.

Barnette conjectured that each planar, bipartite, cubic, and 3-connected graph is hamiltonian. We prove that this conjecture is equivalent to the statement that there is a constant c > 0 such that each graph G of this class contains a path on at least c|V (G)| vertices.
Let G be a simple graph of order n and size e(G). It is well known that if e(G) ≤ n-2, then there is an edge-disjoint placement of two copies of G into Kₙ. We prove that with the same condition on size of G we have actually (with few exceptions) a careful packing of G, that is an edge-disjoint placement of two copies of G into Kₙ∖Cₙ.
