چکیده

It is proven that if G is a 3-connected claw-free graph which is also Z3-free (where Z3 is a triangle with a path of length 3 attached), P6-free (where P6 is a path with 6 vertices) or H1-free (where H1 consists of two disjoint triangles connected by an edge), then G is hamiltonian-connected. Also, examples will be described that determine a finite family of graphs L such that if a 3-connected graph being claw-free and L-free implies G is hamiltonian-connected, then L ∈ L.

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...

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...

3-Connected {K 1, 3, P 9}-Free Graphs are Hamiltonian-Connected

We investigate pairs of forbidden subgraphs that imply a 3-connected graph is Hamiltonian-connected. In particular we show that the pair {K1,3, P9} is such a pair. As it is known that P10 cannot replace P9, this result is best possible. Further, we show that certain other graphs are not possible.

Line Graphs and Forbidden Induced Subgraphs

Beineke and Robertson independently characterized line graphs in terms of nine forbidden induced subgraphs. In 1994, S8 olte s gave another characterization, which reduces the number of forbidden induced subgraphs to seven, with only five exceptional cases. A graph is said to be a dumbbell if it consists of two complete graphs sharing exactly one common edge. In this paper, we show that a graph...

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...
