A Halin graph is a plane graph H = T U C, where T is a plane tree with no vertex of degree t w o and at least one vertex of degree three or more, and C is a cycle connecting the endvertices of T in the cyclic order determined by the embedding of T We prove that such a graph on n vertices contains cy

✦ Synopsis
A cycle in a graph is dominating if every vertex lies at distance at most one from the cycle and a cycle is D-cycle if every edge is incident with a vertex of the cycle. In this paper, first we provide recursive formulae for finding a shortest dominating cycle in a Hahn graph; minor modifications can give formulae for finding a shortest D-cycle. Then, dominating cycles and D-cycles in a Halin graph H are characterized in terms of the cycle graph, the intersection graph of the faces of H.

Flandrin et ai. (to appear) define a simple bipartite graph to be biclaw-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to H, where H could be obtained from two copies of K1.3 by adding an edge joining the two vertices of degree 3. They have shown that if G is a bipartite, balanced, biclaw-free
