## Abstract We show that if __G__ is a 4‐connected claw‐free graph in which every induced hourglass subgraph __S__ contains two non‐adjacent vertices with a common neighbor outside __S__, then __G__ is hamiltonian. This extends the fact that 4‐connected claw‐free, hourglass‐free graphs are hamilton

## Abstract In this paper, we show that every 3‐connected claw‐free graph on n vertices with δ ≥ (__n__ + 5)/5 is hamiltonian. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
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
## Abstract M. Matthews and D. Sumner have proved that of __G__ is a 2‐connected claw‐free graph of order __n__ such that δ ≧ (__n__ − 2)/3, then __G__ is hamiltonian. We prove that the bound for the minimum degree δ can be reduced to __n__/4 under the additional condition that __G__ is not in __F_
Using Ryja c ek's closure, we prove that any 3-connected claw-free graph of order & and minimum degree $ &+38 10 is hamiltonian. This improves a theorem of Kuipers and Veldman who got the same result with the stronger hypotheses $ &+29 8 and & sufficiently large and nearly proves their conjecture sa
