Dirac type condition and Hamiltonian graphs

Zhao, Kewen (2011)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C38, 05C45. In 1952, Dirac introduced the degree type condition and proved that if G is a connected graph of order n і 3 such that its minimum degree satisfies d(G) і n/2, then G is Hamiltonian. In this paper we investigate a further condition and prove that if G is a connected graph of order n і 3 such that d(G) і (n-2)/2, then G is Hamiltonian or G belongs to four classes of well-structured exceptional graphs.

A note on the Song-Zhang theorem for Hamiltonian graphs

Kewen Zhao, Ronald J. Gould (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

An independent set S of a graph G is said to be essential if S has a pair of vertices that are distance two apart in G. In 1994, Song and Zhang proved that if for each independent set S of cardinality k+1, one of the following condition holds: (i) there exist u ≠ v ∈ S such that d(u) + d(v) ≥ n or |N(u) ∩ N(v)| ≥ α (G); (ii) for any distinct u and v in S, |N(u) ∪ N(v)| ≥ n - max{d(x): x ∈ S}, then G is Hamiltonian. We prove that if for each...

On Vertices Enforcing a Hamiltonian Cycle

Igor Fabrici, Erhard Hexel, Stanislav Jendrol’ (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A nonempty vertex set X ⊆ V (G) of a hamiltonian graph G is called an H-force set of G if every X-cycle of G (i.e. a cycle of G containing all vertices of X) is hamiltonian. The H-force number h(G) of a graph G is defined to be the smallest cardinality of an H-force set of G. In the paper the study of this parameter is introduced and its value or a lower bound for outerplanar graphs, planar graphs, k-connected graphs and prisms over graphs is determined.

Chvátal-Erdös type theorems

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Chvátal-Erdös theorems imply that if G is a graph of order n ≥ 3 with κ(G) ≥ α(G), then G is hamiltonian, and if κ(G) > α(G), then G is hamiltonian-connected. We generalize these results by replacing the connectivity and independence number conditions with a weaker minimum degree and independence number condition in the presence of sufficient connectivity. More specifically, it is noted that if G is a graph of order n and k ≥ 2 is a positive integer such that κ(G) ≥ k, δ(G) >...
