Hamiltonicity and forbidden subgraphs in 4-connected graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
Let T be the line graph of the unique tree F on 8 vertices with degree sequence (3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), i.e. T is a chain of three triangles. We show that every 4-connected {T,K1,3}-free graph has a hamiltonian cycle.

Forbidden subgraphs, stability and hamiltonicity
We study the stability of some classes of claw-free graphs deened in terms of forbidden subgraphs under the closure operation deened in 10]. We characterize all connected graphs A such that the class of all CA-free graphs (where C denotes the claw) is stable. Using this result, we prove that every 2-connected and CHP 8-free, CHZ 5-free or CHN 1;1;4-free graph is either hamiltonian or belongs to...
متن کاملForbidden Subgraphs for Hamiltonicity of 3-Connected Claw-Free Graphs
In this paper, we consider forbidden subgraphs for hamiltonicity of 3-connected claw-free graphs. Let Zi be the graph obtaind from a triangle by attaching a path of length i to one of its vertices, and let Q∗ be the graph obtained from the Petersen graph by adding one pendant edge to each vertex. Lai et al. [J. Graph Theory 64 (2010), no. 1, 1-11] conjectured that every 3-connected {K1,3, Z9}-f...
متن کاملForbidden subgraphs and the existence of a 2-factor
For a connected graph H, a graph G is said to be H-free if G does not contain an induced subgraph which is isomorphic to H, and for a set of connected graphs H, G is said to be H-free if G is H-free for every H ∈ H. The set H is called a forbidden subgraph. In particular, if |H| = 2 (resp. |H| = 3), we often call H a forbidden pair (resp. forbidden triple). In 1991, Bedrossian proved that there...

متن کاملForbidden subgraphs, hamiltonicity and closure in claw-free graphs
We study the stability of some classes of graphs deened in terms of forbidden sub-graphs under the closure operation introduced by the second author. Using these results, we prove that every 2-connected claw-free and P 7-free, or claw-free and Z 4-free, or claw-free and eiiel-free graph is either hamiltonian or belongs to a certain class of exceptions (all of them having connectivity 2).
