Matthews and Sumner have proved in [12] that if G is a 2-connected claw-free graph of order n such that 6>~(n-2)/3, then G is hamiltonian. Li has shown that the bound for the minimum degree 6 can be reduced to n/4 under the additional condition that G is not in /7, where /7 is a class of graphs defi

## Abstract Let __T__ be the line graph of the unique tree __F__ on 8 vertices with degree sequence (3,3,3,1,1,1,1,1), i.e., __T__ is a chain of three triangles. We show that every 4‐connected {__T__, __K__~1,3~}‐free graph has a hamiltonian cycle. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 49:
## Abstract Let __cl__(__G__) denote Ryjáček's closure of a claw‐free graph __G__. In this article, we prove the following result. Let __G__ be a 4‐connected claw‐free graph. Assume that __G__[__N__~__G__~(__T__)] is cyclically 3‐connected if __T__ is a maximal __K__~3~ in __G__ which is also maxim
