In this article w e show that the standard results concerning longest paths and cycles in graphs can be improved for K,,,-free graphs. We obtain as a consequence of these results conditions for the existence of a hamiltonian path and cycle in K,,,-free graphs.

β¦ Synopsis
Let G be a non-trivial connected &,-free graph. If any vertex cut of G contains a veitex v such that G@!(u)) is connected, we prove that G is pancyclic. If G(Z+I(u)) is conaected for any vertex u of G, we prove that G is vertex pancyclic and obtain a polynomial time algorithm for constructing cycles of given length and passing through a given vertex in G.

## Abstract We show that every connected __K__~1,3~βfree graph with minimum degree at least __2k__ contains a __k__βfactor and construct connected __K__~1,3~βfree graphs with minimum degree __k__ + __0__(β__k__) that have no __k__βfactor.
