چکیده

In this paper, we present several conditions for K1;3-free graphs, which guarantee the graph is subpancyclic. In particular, we show that every K1;3-free graph with a minimum degree sum 2 ¿ 2 √ 3n+ 1 − 4; every {K1;3; P7}-free graph with 2 ¿ 9; every {K1;3; Z4}-free graph with 2 ¿ 9; and every K1;3-free graph with maximum degree , diam(G)¡ ( +6)=4 and 2 ¿ 9 is subpancyclic. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Pancyclicity of 4-Connected, Claw-Free, P10-Free Graphs

A graph G is said to be pancyclic if G contains cycles of all lengths from 3 to |V (G)|. We show that if G is 4-connected, claw-free, and P10-free, then G is either pancyclic or it is the line graph of the Petersen graph. This implies that every 4-connected, claw-free, P9-free graph is pancyclic, which is best possible and extends a result of Gould et al. Pancyclicity in 3-connected graphs: Pai...

Pancyclicity mod k of claw-free graphs and K1, 4-free graphs

For any natural number k, a graph G is said to be pancyclic mod k if it contains a cycle of every length modulo k. In this paper, we show that every K1,4-free graph G with minimum degree δ(G) ≥ k+ 3 is pancyclic mod k and every claw-free graph G with δ(G) ≥ k+ 1 is pancyclic mod k, which confirms Thomassen’s conjecture [8] for claw-free graphs.

Forbidden subgraphs for chorded pancyclicity

We call a graph G pancyclic if it contains at least one cycle of every possible length m, for 3 ≤ m ≤ |V (G)|. In this paper, we define a new property called chorded pancyclicity. We explore forbidden subgraphs in claw-free graphs sufficient to imply that the graph contains at least one chorded cycle of every possible length 4, 5, . . . , |V (G)|. In particular, certain paths and triangles with...

Pancyclicity of 3-connected graphs: Pairs of forbidden subgraphs

We characterize all pairs of connected graphs {X,Y } such that each 3-connected {X,Y }-free graph is pancyclic. In particular, we show that if each of the graphs in such a pair {X,Y } has at least four vertices, then one of them is the claw K1,3, while the other is a subgraph of one of six specified graphs.

Closure and stable Hamiltonian properties in claw-free graphs

In the class of k-connected claw-free graphs, we study the stability of some hamilto-nian properties under a closure operation introduced by the third author. We prove that (i) the properties of pancyclicity, vertex pancyclicity and cycle extendability are not stable for any k (i.e., for any of these properties there is an innnite family of graphs G k of arbitrarily high connectivity k such tha...
