## Abstract C. Thomassen proposed a conjecture: Let __G__ be a __k__‐connected graph with the stability number α ≥ __k__, then __G__ has a cycle __C__ containing __k__ independent vertices and all their neighbors. In this paper, we will obtain the following result: Let __G__ be a __k__‐connected gr

✦ Synopsis
We show that conjectures of Thomassen (every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian) and Fleischner (every cyclically 4-edge-connected cubic graph has either a 3-edge-coloring or a dominating cycle) are equivalent.

The concept of subcontraction-equivalence is defined, and 14 graphtheoretic properties are exhibited that are all subcontraction-equivalent if Hadwiger's conjecture is true. Some subsets of these properties are proved to be subcontraction-equivalent anyway. Hadwiger's conjecture is expressed as the
This article is motivated by a conjecture of Thomassen and Toft on the number s 2 (G) of separating vertex sets of cardinality 2 and the number v 2 (G) of vertices of degree 2 in a graph G belonging to the class G of all 2-connected graphs without nonseparating induced cycles. Let G denote the numbe
## Abstract A graph __G__ is 1‐Hamilton‐connected if __G__−__x__ is Hamilton‐connected for every __x__∈__V__(__G__), and __G__ is 2‐edge‐Hamilton‐connected if the graph __G__+ __X__ has a hamiltonian cycle containing all edges of __X__ for any __X__⊂__E__^+^(__G__) = {__xy__| __x, y__∈__V__(__G__)}
Let G be a bridgeless cubic graph. Fulkerson conjectured that there exist six 1-factors of G such that each edge of G is contained in exactly two of them. Berge conjectured that the edge-set of G can be covered with at most five 1-factors. We prove that the two conjectures are equivalent.
