abstract
For a positive integer $k$, a graph property $\mathcal{H}$, and a graph parameter $\mathcal{P}$, let $\operatorname{ex}_{\mathcal{P}}(n, \mathcal{H}; \delta \geq k)$ denote the maximum value of $\mathcal{P}$ over all $n$-vertex graphs with minimum degree at least $k$ that do not possess the property $\mathcal{H}$. The corresponding extremal families are denoted by $\operatorname{EX}_{\mathcal{P}}(n, \mathcal{H}; \delta \geq k)$. For two disjoint graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, let $H_1 \cup H_2$ denote their disjoint union, and let $H_1 \vee H_2$ denote their join. In 1962, Erd\H{o}s established a classical theorem on the maximum number of edges in a non-Hamiltonian graph with prescribed order and minimum degree. Motivated by recent work on feasible graph parameters in \cite{ALNS2023}, we prove several extensions of Erd\H{o}s's 1962 theorem on non-Hamiltonian graphs. The first result gives a common generalization of the extremal theorem due to Erd\H{o}s and its spectral analogues. As direct applications, we obtain complete solutions to open problems raised in the literature since 2016, thereby improving nearly all related prior results in this direction.

Sharp spectral Moon--Moser-type theorems in the linear range via feasible graph parameters
The spectral Moon–Moser thresholds for non-Hamiltonian balanced bipartite graphs and non-traceable nearly balanced bipartite graphs remain sharp in the linear range n ≥ 2k (resp. n ≥ 2k+1), with unique extremal graphs.
