description Graph invariants provide a powerful analytical tool for investigation of abstract substructures of graphs. This paper is devoted to large cycle substructures, namely, Hamilton, longest and dominating cycles and some generalized cycles including Hamilton and dominating cycles as special cases. In this paper, we have collected 36 pure algebraic relations between basic (initial) graph invariants ensuring the existence of a certain type of large cycles. These simplest kind of relations having no forerunners in the area actually form a source from which nearly all possible hamiltonian results (including well-known Ore's theorem, Posa's theorem, and many other generalizations) can be developed further by various additional new ideas, generalizations, extensions, restrictions, and structural limitations.
