This paper generalizes a theorem of Thomassen on paths in planar graphs. As a corollary, it is shown that every 4-connected planar graph has a Hamilton path between any two specified vertices x, y and containing any specified edge other than xy.

Let D be an oriented graph of order n β₯ 9, minimum degree at least n -2, such that, for the choice of distinct vertices x and y, . Graph Theory 18 (1994), 461-468) proved that D is pancyclic. In this note, we give a short proof, based on Song's result, that D is, in fact, vertex pancyclic. This also
In a graph G, a spanning tree T is called a tree t-spanner of G if the distance between any two vertices in T is at most t times their distance in G. While the complexity of finding a tree t-spanner of a given graph is known for any fixed t 3, the case t Ο 3 still remains open. In this article, we s
A graph G is said to be P t -free if it does not contain an induced path on t vertices. The i-center C i (G) of a connected graph G is the set of vertices whose distance from any vertex in G is at most i. Denote by I(t) the set of natural numbers i, t/2 β€ i β€ t -2, with the property that, in every c
Let G be a 2-connected graph, let u and v be distinct vertices in V (G), and let X be a set of at most four vertices lying on a common (u
## For a graph G and an integer an independent set of vertices in G}. Enomoto proved the following theorem. Let s β₯ 1 and let G be a (s + 2)-connected graph. Then G has a cycle of length β₯ min{|V (G)|, Ο 2 (G) -s} passing through any path of length s. We generalize this result as follows. Let k β₯
