## Abstract We consider the existence of several different kinds of factors in 4‐connected claw‐free graphs. This is motivated by the following two conjectures which are in fact equivalent by a recent result of the third author. Conjecture 1 (Thomassen): Every 4‐connected line graph is hamiltonian,

✦ Synopsis
We prove that every (claw, net)-free graph contains an induced doubly dominating cycle or a dominating pair. Moreover, using LexBFS we present a linear time algorithm which, for a given (claw, net)-free graph, ÿnds either a dominating pair or an induced doubly dominating cycle. We show also how one can use structural properties of (claw, net)-free graphs to solve e ciently the domination, independent domination, and independent set problems on these graphs.

We show that, in a claw-free graph, Hamilton-connectedness is preserved under the operation of local completion performed at a vertex with 2-connected neighborhood. This result proves a conjecture by Bollobás et al.

We give a O(nm) time algorithm for the maximum weight stable set (MWS) problem on P5-and co-chair-free graphs without recognizing whether the (arbitrary) input graph is P5and co-chair-free. This algorithm is based on the fact that prime P5-and co-chair-free graphs containing 2K2 are matched co-bipar
