The Edge Reconstruction Conjecture states that all graphs with at least four edges are determined by their edge-deleted subgraphs. We prove that this is true for claw-free graphs, those graphs with no induced subgraph isomorphic to K,,3. This includes line graphs as a special case.
Claw-free graphs are not universal fixers

## Abstract We show that every 3βconnected clawβfree graph which contains no induced copy of __P__~11~ is hamiltonian. Since there exist nonβhamiltonian 3βconnected clawβfree graphs without induced copies of __P__~12~ this result is, in a way, best possible. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph T
A graph is Hamilton-connected if any pair of vertices is joined by a hamiltonian path. In this note it is shown that 9-connected graphs which contain no induced claw K 1, 3 are Hamilton-connected, by reformulating and localizing a closure concept due to Ryja c ek, which turns claw-free graphs into l
Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian. Here we shall see that 4-connected line graphs of claw free graphs are hamiltonian connected.
