Some known results on claw-free (Kl,3-free) graphs are generalized to the larger class of almost claw-free graphs which were introduced by RyjaEek. In particular, w e show that a 2-connected almost claw-free graph is I-tough, and that a 2-connected almost claw-free graph on n vertices is hamiltonian

Let G be a connected k-regular vertex-transitive graph on n vertices. For S V(G) let d(S) denote the number of edges between S and V(G)"S. We extend results of Mader and Tindell by showing that if d(S)< 2 9 (k+1) 2 for some S V(G) with 1 3 (k+1) |S| 1 2 n, then G has a factor F such that GÂE(F ) is
Let G be a graph of order n. In this paper, we prove that if G is a 2-connected graph of order n such that for all u, ve V(G), 2 where dist(u,v) is the distance between u and v in G, then either G is hamiltonian, or G is a spanning subgraph of a graph in one of three families of exceptional graphs.
Let G be a k-regular 2-connected graph of order n. Jackson proved that G is hamiltonian if n 5 3k. Zhu and Li showed that the upper bound 3k on n can be relaxed to q k if G is 3-connected and k 2 63. We improve both results by showing that G is hamiltonian if n 5 gk -7 and G does not belong to a res
