Hamiltonicity of regular 2-connected graphs
Let G be a k-regular 2-connected graph of order n. Jackson proved that G is hamiltonian if n 5 3k. Zhu and Li showed that the upper bound 3k on n can be relaxed to q k if G is 3-connected and k 2 63. We improve both results by showing that G is hamiltonian if n 5 gk 7 and G does not belong to a restricted class 3 of nonhamiltonian graphs of connectivity 2. To establish this result we obtain a v...
متن کاملHamiltonicity in connected regular graphs
In 1980, Jackson proved that every 2-connected k-regular graph with at most 3k vertices is Hamiltonian. This result has been extended in several papers. In this note, we determine the minimum number of vertices in a connected k-regular graph that is not Hamiltonian, and we also solve the analogous problem for Hamiltonian paths. Further, we characterize the smallest connected k-regular graphs wi...
متن کاملHamiltonicity in 3-connected claw-free graphs
Kuipers and Veldman conjectured that any 3-connected claw-free graph with order ν and minimum degree δ ≥ ν+6 10 is Hamiltonian for ν sufficiently large. In this paper, we prove that if H is a 3-connected claw-free graph with sufficiently large order ν, and if δ(H) ≥ ν+5 10 , then either H is hamiltonian, or δ(H) = ν+5 10 and the Ryjác̆ek’s closure cl(H) of H is the line graph of a graph obtained...
متن کاملPairs of Heavy Subgraphs for Hamiltonicity of 2-Connected Graphs
Let G be a graph on n vertices. An induced subgraph H of G is called heavy if there exist two nonadjacent vertices in H with degree sum at least n in G. We say that G is H-heavy if every induced subgraph of G isomorphic to H is heavy. For a family H of graphs, G is called H-heavy if G is H-heavy for every H ∈ H. In this paper we characterize all connected graphs R and S other than P3 (the path ...
متن کاملHamiltonicity of 3-connected line graphs
Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is Hamiltonian. Lai et al. conjectured [H. Lai, Y. Shao, H. Wu, J. Zhou, Every 3-connected, essentially 11-connected line graph is Hamiltonian, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 96 (2006) 571–576] that every 3-connected, essentially 4-connected line graph is Hamiltonian. In this note, we first show that the conjecture posed by Lai et al. is not tru...
