## Abstract We consider the existence of several different kinds of factors in 4βconnected clawβfree graphs. This is motivated by the following two conjectures which are in fact equivalent by a recent result of the third author. Conjecture 1 (Thomassen): Every 4βconnected line graph is hamiltonian,

An even pair in a graph is a pair of non-adjacent vertices such that every chordless path between them has even length. A graph is called strict quasi-parity when every induced subgraph that is not a clique has an even pair, and it is called perfectly contractile when every induced subgraph can be 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
