Forbidden Subgraphs and Pancyclicity

چکیده
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.

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...
متن کاملForbidden Subgraphs and (k,m)-pancyclicity
A graph G on n vertices is said to be (k, m)-pancyclic if each k-set S ⊆ V (G) is contained in cycles of each of the following lengths: m,m + 1, · · · , n. This property generalizes vertex pancyclicity. There are ten pairs of forbidden subgraphs which guarantee that a 2-connected graph is (k,m)-pancyclic for some integer m ≤ n. We give the best (smallest) possible value for m in each of these t...
متن کاملPancyclicity 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.
متن کاملPancyclicity 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...
متن کاملForbidden Subgraphs for Planar Blict and Blitact Graphs
Many graphs which are encountered in the study of graph theory are characterized by a type of configuration or subgraphs they possess. However, there are occasions when such graphs are more easily defined or described by the kind of subgraphs they are not permitted to contain. Such subgraphs are called forbidden subgraphs. In this paper, we present characterizations of graphs whose blict and bl...
