## Abstract We introduce a method for reducing __k__βtournament problems, for __k__ββ₯β3, to ordinary tournaments, that is, 2βtournaments. It is applied to show that a __k__βtournament on __n__ββ₯βkβ+β1β+β24__d__ vertices (when __k__ββ₯β4) or on __n__ββ₯β30__d__β+β2 vertices (when __k__β=β3) has __d__

Abstract
It is conjectured that a 2(k + 1)βconnected graph of order p contains k + 1 pairwise disjoint Hamiltonian cycles if no two of its vertices that have degree less than 1/2 + 2__k__ are distance two apart. This is proved in detail for k = 1. Similar arguments establish the conjecture for k = 2. Β© 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A graph is claw-free if it does not contain K l , 3 as an induced subgraph. It is Kl,,-free if it does not contain K l , r as an induced subgraph. We show that if a graph is Kl,,-free ( r 2 4), only p + 2r -1 edges are needed to insure that G has t w o disjoint cycles. As an easy consequence w e ge
## Abstract Let $n\_1,n\_2,\ldots,n\_k$ be integers, $n=\sum n\_i$, $n\_i\ge 3$, and let for each $1\le i\le k$, $H\_i$ be a cycle or a tree on $n\_i$ vertices. We prove that every graph __G__ of order at least __n__ with $\sigma\_2(G) \ge 2( n-k) -1$ contains __k__ vertex disjoint subgraphs $H\_1'
## Abstract M. Matthews and D. Sumner have proved that of __G__ is a 2βconnected clawβfree graph of order __n__ such that Ξ΄ β§ (__n__ β 2)/3, then __G__ is hamiltonian. We prove that the bound for the minimum degree Ξ΄ can be reduced to __n__/4 under the additional condition that __G__ is not in __F_
