The hamiltonian path graph H(F) of a graph F is that graph having the same vertex set as F and in which two vertices u and u are adjacent if and only if F contains a hamiltonian u -u path. First, in response to a conjecture of Chartrand, Kapoor and Nordhaus, a characterization of nonhamiltonian grap

Abstract
Broersma and Hoede have introduced path graphs. Their characterization of P~3~โgraphs contains a flaw. This note presents the correct form of the characterization. ยฉ 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract In a connected graph define the kโcenter as the set of vertices whose distance from any other vertex is at most __k.__ We say that a vertex set __S__ __d__โdominates __G__ if for every vertex x there is a y โ __S__ whose distance from __x__ is at most __d__. Call a graph __P~t~__โfree
An asteroidal triple is a stable set of three vertices such that each pair is connected by a path avoiding the neighborhood of the third vertex. Asteroidal triples play a central role in a classical characterization of interval graphs by Lekkerkerker and Boland. Their result says that a chordal grap
## Abstract A path graph is the intersection graph of subpaths of a tree. In 1970, Renz asked for a characterization of path graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. We answer this question by determining the complete list of graphs that are not path graphs and are minimal with this property. ยฉ 2009
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.
