On cycle lengths in claw-free graphs with complete closure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show a construction that gives an infinite family of claw-free graphs of connectivity κ = 2, 3, 4, 5 with complete closure and without a cycle of a given fixed length. This construction disproves a conjecture by the first author, A. Saito and R.H. Schelp.

Claw-free graphs with complete closure
We study some properties of the closure concept in claw-free graphs that was introduced by the rst author. It is known that G is hamiltonian if and only if its closure is hamiltonian, but, on the other hand, there are innnite classes of non-pancyclic graphs with pancyclic closure. We show several structural properties of claw-free graphs with complete closure and their clique cutsets and, using...
متن کاملClosure operation for even factors on claw-free graphs
Ryjacek [Z. Ryjáček: On a closure concept in claw-free graphs. Journal of Combinatorial Theory Ser. B 70 (1997), 217-224] defined a powerful closure operation cl(G) on claw-free graphs G. Very recently, Ryjacek, Yoshimoto and the talker developed the closure operation cl (G) on claw-free graphs which preserves the (non)-existence of a 2-factor. In this talk, we introduce a closure operation cl(...
متن کاملOn a Closure Concept in Claw-Free Graphs
If G is a claw-free graph, then there is a graph cl(G) such that (i) G is a spanning subgraph of cl(G), (ii) cl(G) is a line graph of a triangle-free graph, and (iii) the length of a longest cycle in G and in cl(G) is the same. A suucient condition for hamiltonicity in claw-free graphs, the equivalence of some conjectures on hamiltonicity in 2-tough graphs and the hamiltonicity of 7-connected c...
متن کاملRecent research in Graph Theory
A well-known and fundamental property of graphs is Hamiltonicity. A connected graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle. Determining if a graph is Hamiltonian is known as a NP-complete problem and no satisfactory characterization exists. Nevertheless, many sufficient conditions for Hamiltonicity were found, usually expressed in terms of degree, connectivity, density, toughness, indep...
متن کاملStrengthening the closure concept in claw-free graphs
We give a strengthening of the closure concept for claw-free graphs introduced by the second author in 1997. The new closure of a claw-free graph G de ned here is uniquely determined and preserves the value of the circumference of G. We present an in nite family of graphs with n vertices and 3 2 n 1 edges for which the new closure is the
