چکیده
A graph G is Nm-locally connected if for every vertex v in G, the vertices not equal to v and with distance at most m to v induce a connected subgraph in G. We show that both connected N2-locally connected claw-free graph and 3-edge-connected N3-locally connected claw-free graph have connected even [2, 4]-factors, which settle a conjecture by Li in [6].

Spanning eulerian subgraphs in N2-locally connected claw-free graphs
A graph G is Nm-locally connected if for every vertex v in G, the vertices not equal to v and with distance at most m to v induce a connected subgraph in G.

متن کاملPairs of forbidden subgraphs and 2-connected supereulerian graphs
Let G be a 2-connected claw-free graph. We show that • if G is N1,1,4-free or N1,2,2-free or Z5-free or P8-free, respectively, then G has a spanning eulerian subgraph (i.e. a spanning connected even subgraph) or its closure is the line graph of a graph in a family of well-defined graphs, • if the minimum degree δ(G) ≥ 3 and G is N2,2,5-free or Z9-free, respectively, then G has a spanning euleri...
متن کاملCircumference of 3-connected claw-free graphs and large Eulerian subgraphs of 3-edge-connected graphs
The circumference of a graph is the length of its longest cycles. Results of Jackson, and Jackson and Wormald, imply that the circumference of a 3-connected cubic n-vertex graph is Ω(n), and the circumference of a 3-connected claw-free graph is Ω(n). We generalise and improve the first result by showing that every 3-edge-connected graph with m edges has an Eulerian subgraph with Ω(m) edges. We ...
متن کاملVertex 3-colorability of Claw-free Graphs
The 3-colorability problem is NP-complete in the class of clawfree graphs and it remains hard in many of its subclasses obtained by forbidding additional subgraphs. (Line graphs and claw-free graphs of vertex degree at most four provide two examples.) In this paper we study the computational complexity of the 3-colorability problem in subclasses of claw-free graphs defined by finitely many forb...
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...
