On uniquely Hamiltonian claw-free and triangle-free graphs

چکیده

A graph is uniquely Hamiltonian if it contains exactly one Hamiltonian cycle. In this note, we prove that claw-free graphs with minimum degree at least 3 are not uniquely Hamiltonian. We also show that this is best possible by exhibiting uniquely Hamiltonian claw-free graphs with minimum degree 2 and arbitrary maximum degree. Finally, we show that a construction due to Entringer and Swart can be modified to construct triangle-free uniquely Hamiltonian graphs with minimum degree 3.

On Hamiltonicity of 3-Connected Claw-Free Graphs

A graph G has the hourglass property if every induced hourglass S (a tree with a degree sequence 22224) contains two non-adjacent vertices which have a common neighbor in G − V (S). For an integer k ≥ 4, a graph G has the single k-cycle property if every edge of G, which does not lie in a triangle, lies in a cycle C of order at most k such that C has at least |V (C)| 2 edges which do not lie in...

Claw-free 3-connected P11-free graphs are hamiltonian

We show that every 3-connected claw-free graph which contains no induced copy of P11 is hamiltonian. Since there exist non-hamiltonian 3-connected claw-free graphs without induced copies of P12 this result is, in a way, best possible. 1. Statement of the main result A graph G is {H1, H2, . . . Hk}-free if G contains no induced subgraphs isomorphic to any of the graphs Hi, i = 1, 2, . . . , k. A...

On 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...
