چکیده

Let G be a connected claw-free graph, M (G) the set of all vertices of G that have a connected neighborhood, and hM (G)i the induced subgraph of G on M (G). We prove that (i) if M (G) dominates G and hM (G)i is connected, then G is vertex pan-cyclic orderable, (ii) if M (G) dominates G; hM (G)i is connected, and G n M (G) is triangle-free, then G is fully 2-chord extendable, (iii) if M (G) dominates G and the number of components of hM (G)i does not exceed the connectivity of G, then G is hamiltonian.

On the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...

On cycle lengths in claw-free graphs with complete closure

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.

Forbidden graphs and group connectivity

Many researchers have devoted themselves to the study of nowhere-zero flows and group connectivity. Recently, Thomassen confirmed the weak 3-flow conjecture, which was further improved by Lovász, Thomassen, Wu and Zhang who proved that every 6-edge-connected graph is Z3-connected. However, Conjectures 1 and 2 are still open. Conjecture 2 implies Conjecture 1 by a result of Kochol that reduces C...

t-Perfection Is Always Strong for Claw-Free Graphs

A connected graph G is called t-perfect if its stable set polytope is determined by the non-negativity, edge and odd-cycle inequalities. Moreover, G is called strongly t-perfect if this system is totally dual integral. It is an open problem whether t-perfection is equivalent to strong t-perfection. We prove the equivalence for the class of claw-free graphs.
