Hamiltonian Connected Graphs Involving Forbidden Subgraphs

چکیده
We consider the pair of graphs S and T such that every 3-connected {S, T}-free graph is hamiltonian connected. Such pairs are called hamiltonian connected pairs. We show three new hamiltonian connected pairs. Combing our results and a result of Shepherd, we conclude that if {S, T} is a pair of graphs such that every 2-connected {S, T}-free graph is hamiltonian then every 3-connected {S, T}-free graph is hamiltonian connected.

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 کاملCharacterizing forbidden pairs for hamiltonian properties 1
In this paper we characterize those pairs of forbidden subgraphs sufficient to imply various hamiltonian type properties in graphs. In particular, we find all forbidden pairs sufficient, along with a minor connectivity condition, to imply a graph is traceable, hamiltonian, pancyclic, panconnected or cycle extendable. We also consider the case of hamiltonian-connected graphs and present a result...
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 and Pancyclicity
We prove that every 2{connected K 1;3-free and Z 3 ?free graph is hamiltonian except for two graphs. Furthermore, we give a complete characterization of all 2?connected, K 1;3-free graphs, which are not pancyclic, and which are Z 3-free, B-free, W-free, or HP 7 ?free.
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...
