The H-force number h(G) of a hamiltonian graph G is the smallest cardinality of a set A ⊆ V (G) such that each cycle containing all vertices of A is hamiltonian. In this paper a lower and an upper bound of h(G) is given. Such graphs, for which h(G) assumes the lower bound are characterized by a cycle extendability property. The H-force number of hamiltonian graphs which are exactly 2-connected can be calculated by a decomposition formula.

In 1980 Bondy [2] proved that a (k+s)-connected graph of order n ≥ 3 is traceable (s = −1) or Hamiltonian (s = 0) or Hamiltonian-connected (s = 1) if the degree sum of every set of k+1 pairwise nonadjacent vertices is at least ((k+1)(n+s−1)+1)/2. It is shown in [1] that one can allow exceptional (k+ 1)-sets violating this condition and still implying the considered Hamiltonian property. In this note we generalize this result for s = −1 and s = 0 and graphs that fulfill a certain connectivity...

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...

A graph is uniquely Hamiltonian if it contains exactly one Hamiltonian cycle. In this note, we prove that claw-free graphs with minimum degree at least 3 are not uniquely Hamiltonian. We also show that this is best possible by exhibiting uniquely Hamiltonian claw-free graphs with minimum degree 2 and arbitrary maximum degree. Finally, we show that a construction due to Entringer and Swart can be modified to construct triangle-free uniquely Hamiltonian graphs with minimum degree 3. ...

During the last decade, several research groups have published results on sufficient conditions for the hamiltonicity of graphs by using some topological indices. We mainly study hyper-Zagreb index and some hamiltonian properties. We give some sufficient conditions for graphs to be traceable, hamiltonian or Hamilton-connected in terms of their hyper-Zagreb indices. In addition, we also use the hyper-Zagreb index of the complement of a graph to present a sufficient condition for it to...

For a graph G of order n we consider the unique partition of its vertex set V(G) = A ∪ B with A = {v ∈ V(G): d(v) ≥ n/2} and B = {v ∈ V(G):d(v) < n/2}. Imposing conditions on the vertices of the set B we obtain new sufficient conditions for hamiltonian and pancyclic graphs.

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.

Our aim is to survey results in graph theory centered around four themes: hamiltonian graphs, pancyclic graphs, cycles through vertices and the cycle structure in a graph. We focus on problems related to the closure result of Bondy and Chvátal, which is a common generalization of two fundamental theorems due to Dirac and Ore. We also describe a number of proof techniques in this domain. Aside from the closure operation we give some applications of Ramsey theory in the research of cycle...

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.

The well-known Chvátal-Erdős theorem states that if the stability number α of a graph G is not greater than its connectivity then G is hamiltonian. In 1974 Erdős showed that if, additionally, the order of the graph is sufficiently large with respect to α, then G is pancyclic. His proof is based on the properties of cycle-complete graph Ramsey numbers. In this paper we show that a similar result can be easily proved by applying only classical Ramsey numbers.
