Pósa-Seymour Conjecture
Statement
In 1962, Lajos Pósa conjectured that every -vertex graph with minimum degree at least contains the square of a Hamiltonian cycle, generalizing Dirac's theorem. The conjecture was further extended by Paul Seymour in 1974 to the following:
Every graph on vertices with minimum degree at least contains the -th power of a Hamiltonian cycle.
The blow-up lemma was used by Komlós, Sárközy, and Szemerédi to prove the conjecture for all sufficiently large values of (for a fixed ) in 1998.
