摘要
In this survey we have attempted to bring together most of the results and papers that deal with toughness related to cycle structure. We begin with a brief introduction and a section on terminology and notation, and then try to organize the work into a few self explanatory categories. These categories are circumference, the disproof of the 2-tough conjecture, factors, special graph classes, computational complexity, and miscellaneous results as they relate to toughness. We complete the survey with some tough open problems!
