## Abstract A graph ฮ is locally Petersen if, for each point __t__ of ฮ, the graph induced by ฮ on all points adjacent to __t__ is isomorphic to the Petersen graph. We prove that there are exactly three isomorphism classes of connected, locally Petersen graphs and further characterize these graphs

We determine all graphs with the property that each of its local graphs (point neighbourhoods) is isomorphic to either the Petersen graph or the complete bipartite graph K,,,. This answers a question of J.I. Hall.

## Abstract A graph __G__ is locally __n__โconnected, __n__ โฅ 1, if the subgraph induced by the neighborhood of each vertex is __n__โconnected. We prove that every connected, locally 2โconnected graph containing no induced subgraph isomorphic to __K__~1,3~ is panconnected.
## Abstract There are many results concerned with the hamiltonicity of __K__~1,3~โfree graphs. In the paper we show that one of the sufficient conditions for the __K__~1,3~โfree graph to be Hamiltonian can be improved using the concept of secondโtype vertex neighborhood. The paper is concluded with
## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph. For each vertex __v__ โ__V__(__G__), __N~v~__ denotes the subgraph induces by the vertices adjacent to __v__ in __G__. The graph __G__ is locally __k__โedgeโconnected if for each vertex __v__ โ__V__(__G__), __N~v~__ is __k__โedgeโconnected. In this paper we study t
We prove the following conjecture of Broersma and Veldman: A connected, locally k-connected K,,-free graph is k-hamiltonian if and only if it is (k + 2)-connected ( k L 1). We use [ 11 for basic terminology and notation, and consider simple graphs only. Let G be a graph. By V(G) and E(G) we denote,
