چکیده

We prove that a claw-free, 2-connected graph with fewer than 18 vertices is traceable, and we determine all non-traceable, claw-free, 2-connected graphs with exactly 18 vertices and a minimal number of edges. This complements a result of Matthews on Hamiltonian graphs.

Spectral Radius and Traceability of Connected Claw-Free Graphs

Let G be a connected claw-free graph on n vertices and G be its complement. Let μ(G) be the spectral radius of G. Denote by Nn−3,3 the graph consisting of Kn−3 and three disjoint pendent edges. In this note we prove that: (1) If μ(G) ≥ n − 4, then G is traceable unless G = Nn−3,3. (2) If μ(G) ≤ μ(Nn−3,3) and n ≥ 24, then G is traceable unless G = Nn−3,3. Our works are counterparts on claw-free ...

On traceability and 2-factors in claw-free graphs

If G is a claw-free graph of sufficiently large order n, satisfying a degree condition σk > n+k2−4k+7 (where k is an arbitrary constant), then G has a 2-factor with at most k − 1 components. As a second main result, we present classes of graphs C1, . . . , C8 such that every sufficiently large connected claw-free graph satisfying degree condition σ6(k) > n + 19 (or, as a corollary, δ(G) > n+19 ...

Closure and stable Hamiltonian properties in claw-free graphs

In the class of k-connected claw-free graphs, we study the stability of some hamilto-nian properties under a closure operation introduced by the third author. We prove that (i) the properties of pancyclicity, vertex pancyclicity and cycle extendability are not stable for any k (i.e., for any of these properties there is an innnite family of graphs G k of arbitrarily high connectivity k such tha...

Graphs with Integer Matching Polynomial Roots

In this paper, we study graphs with integer matching polynomial roots. We characterize all traceable graphs whose all matching polynomial roots are integer. We show that there is no k-regular claw-free graph (k ≥ 2), whose all matching polynomial roots are integer. Also we conjecture that apart from K7 \ (E(C3) ∪E(C4)), there is no matching integral k-regular graph (k ≥ 2). 2010 Mathematics Sub...

Matching Integral Graphs of Small Order

In this paper, we study matching integral graphs of small order. A graph is called matching integral if the zeros of its matching polynomial are all integers. Matching integral graphs were first studied by Akbari, Khalashi, etc. They characterized all traceable graphs which are matching integral. They studied matching integral regular graphs. Furthermore, it has been shown that there is no matc...
