Abstract
We find Dirac-type sufficient conditions for a hypergraph H with few edges to be hamiltonian. We also show that these conditions guarantee that H is super-pancyclic, i.e., for each A⊆V(H) with |A|≥3, H contains a Berge cycle with vertex set A. We mostly use the language of bipartite graphs, because every bipartite graph is the incidence graph of a multihypergraph. In particular, we extend some results of Jackson on the existence of long cycles in bipartite graphs where the vertices in one part have high minimum degree. Moreover, we prove a conjecture of Jackson from 1981 on long cycles in 2-connected bipartite graphs.
