Let $G$ be a simple graph with $ngeq4$ vertices and $d(x)+d(y)geq n+k$ for each edge $xyin E(G)$. In this work we prove that $G$ either contains a spanning closed trail containing any given edge set $X$ if $|X|leq k$, or $G$ is a well characterized graph. As a corollary, we show that line graphs of such graphs are $k$-hamiltonian.

A cycle $C$ in a graph $G$ is called a Tutte cycle if, after deleting $C$ from $G$, each component has at most three neighbors on $C$. Tutte cycles play an important role in the study of Hamiltonicity of planar graphs. Thomas and Yu and independently Sanders proved the existence of Tutte cycles containining three specified edges of a facial cycle in a 2-connected plane graph. We prove a quantitative version of this result, bounding the number of components of the graph obtained by deleting a Tutte cycle. As a corollary, we can find long cycles in essentially 4-connected plane graphs that also contain three prescribed edges of a facial cycle.
A rainbow matching in an edge-colored graph is a matching in which no two edges have the same color. The color degree of a vertex v is the number of different colors on edges incident to v. Kritschgau [Electron. J. Combin. 27(2020)] studied the existence of rainbow matchings in edge-colored graph G with average color degree at least 2k, and proved some sufficient conditions for a rainbow marching of size k in G. The sufficient conditions include that |V(G)|>=12k^2+4k, or G is a properly edge-colored graph with |V(G)|>=8k. In this paper, we show that every edge-colored graph G with |V(G)|>=4k-4 and average color degree at least 2k-1 contains a rainbow matching of size k. In addition, we also prove that every strongly edge-colored graph G with average degree at least 2k-1 contains a rainbow matching of size at least k. The bound is sharp for complete graphs.
Following a given ordering of the edges of a graph $G$, the greedy edge colouring procedure assigns to each edge the smallest available colour. The minimum number of colours thus involved is the chromatic index $chi(G)$, and the maximum is the so-called Grundy chromatic index. Here, we are interested in the restricted case where the ordering of the edges builds the graph in a connected fashion. Let $chi_c(G)$ be the minimum number of colours involved following such an ordering. We show that it is NP-hard to determine whether $chi_c(G)>chi(G)$. We prove that $chi(G)=chi_c(G)$ if $G$ is bipartite, and that $chi_c(G)leq 4$ if $G$ is subcubic.
The degree set of a finite simple graph $G$ is the set of distinct degrees of vertices of $G$. A theorem of Kapoor, Polimeni & Wall asserts that the least order of a graph with a given degree set $mathscr D$ is $1+max mathscr D$. Tripathi & Vijay considered the analogous problem concerning the least size of graphs with degree set $mathscr D$. We expand on their results, and determine the least size of graphs with degree set $mathscr D$ when (i) $min mathscr D mid d$ for each $d in mathscr D$; (ii) $min mathscr D=2$; (iii) $mathscr D={m,m+1,ldots,n}$. In addition, given any $mathscr D$, we produce a graph $G$ whose size is within $min mathscr D$ of the optimal size, giving a $big(1+frac{2}{d_1+1})$-approximation, where $d_1=max mathscr D$.
Given vertex valencies admissible for a self-dual polyhedral graph, we describe an algorithm to explicitly construct such a polyhedron. Inputting in the algorithm permutations of the degree sequence can give rise to non-isomorphic graphs. As an application, we find as a function of $ngeq 3$ the minimal number of vertices for a self-dual polyhedron with at least one vertex of degree $i$ for each $3leq ileq n$, and construct such polyhedra. Moreover, we find a construction for non-self-dual polyhedral graphs of minimal order with at least one vertex of degree $i$ and at least one $i$-gonal face for each $3leq ileq n$.
