Potential forbidden triples implying hamiltonicity: for sufficiently large graphs

In [2], Brousek characterizes all triples of connected graphs, G1, G2, G3, with Gi = K1,3 for some i = 1, 2, or 3, such that all G1G2G3free graphs contain a hamiltonian cycle. In [8], Faudree, Gould, Jacobson and Lesniak consider the problem of finding triples of graphs G1, G2, G3, none of which is a K1,s, s ≥ 3 such that G1G2G3-free graphs of sufficiently large order contain a hamiltonian cycl...

In [2], Brousek characterizes all triples of graphs, G1, G2, G3, with Gi = K1,3 for some i = 1, 2, or 3, such that all G1G2G3-free graphs contain a hamiltonian cycle. In [6], Faudree, Gould, Jacobson and Lesniak consider the problem of finding triples of graphs G1, G2, G3, none of which is a K1,s, s ≥ 3 such that G1, G2, G3-free graphs of sufficiently large order contain a hamiltonian cycle.

Forbidden 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...

Characterizing 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...

Characterizing Forbidden Pairs for Hamiltonian Squares

The square of a graph is obtained by adding additional edges joining all pair of vertices of distance two in the original graph. Particularly, if C is a hamiltonian cycle of a graph G, then the square of C is called a hamiltonian square of G. In this paper, we characterize all possible forbidden pairs, which implies the containment of a hamiltonian square, in a 4-connected graph. The connectivi...
