## 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.
## 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_
Some known results on claw-free (Kl,3-free) graphs are generalized to the larger class of almost claw-free graphs which were introduced by RyjaEek. In particular, w e show that a 2-connected almost claw-free graph is I-tough, and that a 2-connected almost claw-free graph on n vertices is hamiltonian
## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph and let __V__~0~ = {ν∈ __V__(__G__): __d__~__G__~(ν) = 6}. We show in this paper that: (i) if __G__ is a 6‐connected line graph and if |__V__~0~| ≤ 29 or __G__[__V__~0~] contains at most 5 vertex disjoint __K__~4~'s, then __G__ is Hamilton‐connected; (ii) every 8‐co
## Abstract Let __G__ be a 2‐connected claw‐free graph on __n__ vertices, and let __H__ be a subgraph of __G__. We prove that __G__ has a cycle containing all vertices of __H__ whenever α~3~(__H__) ≧ κ(__G__), where α~3~(__H__) denotes the maximum number of vertices of __H__ that are pairwise at di
