Abstract
Liu and Ma [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2018] conjectured that every 2-connected non-bipartite graph with minimum degree at least contains cycles with consecutive odd lengths. In particular, they showed that this conjecture holds when is even. In this paper, we confirm this conjecture for any . Moreover, we also improve some previous results about cycles of consecutive lengths.
