On theH-Force Number of Hamiltonian Graphs and Cycle Extendability

Erhard Hexel (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

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.

Matchings Extend to Hamiltonian Cycles in 5-Cube

Fan Wang, Weisheng Zhao (2018)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Ruskey and Savage asked the following question: Does every matching in a hypercube Qn for n ≥ 2 extend to a Hamiltonian cycle of Qn? Fink confirmed that every perfect matching can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle of Qn, thus solved Kreweras’ conjecture. Also, Fink pointed out that every matching can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle of Qn for n ∈ {2, 3, 4}. In this paper, we prove that every matching in Q5 can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle of Q5.

The Chvátal-Erdős condition and 2-factors with a specified number of components

Guantao Chen, Ronald J. Gould, Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi, Katsuhiro Ota, Akira Saito, Ingo Schiermeyer (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a 2-connected graph of order n satisfying α(G) = a ≤ κ(G), where α(G) and κ(G) are the independence number and the connectivity of G, respectively, and let r(m,n) denote the Ramsey number. The well-known Chvátal-Erdös Theorem states that G has a hamiltonian cycle. In this paper, we extend this theorem, and prove that G has a 2-factor with a specified number of components if n is sufficiently large. More precisely, we prove that (1) if n ≥ k·r(a+4, a+1), then G has a 2-factor...

Pancyclism and small cycles in graphs

Ralph Faudree, Odile Favaron, Evelyne Flandrin, Hao Li (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We first show that if a graph G of order n contains a hamiltonian path connecting two nonadjacent vertices u and v such that d(u)+d(v) ≥ n, then G is pancyclic. By using this result, we prove that if G is hamiltonian with order n ≥ 20 and if G has two nonadjacent vertices u and v such that d(u)+d(v) ≥ n+z, where z = 0 when n is odd and z = 1 otherwise, then G contains a cycle of length m for each 3 ≤ m ≤ max (dC(u,v)+1, [(n+19)/13]), d C ( u , v ) being the distance of u and v on a hamiltonian cycle...

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

Jill R. Faudree, Ralph J. Faudree, Ronald J. Gould, Michael S. Jacobson, Colton Magnant (2010)

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) >...
