Toughness, Forbidden Subgraphs, and Hamilton-Connected Graphs

open access: diamondDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2022
A graph G is called Hamilton-connected if for every pair of distinct vertices {u, v} of G there exists a Hamilton path in G that connects u and v. A graph G is said to be t-tough if t·ω(G − X) ≤ |X| for all X ⊆ V (G) with ω(G − X) > 1. The toughness of G,

Forbidden Subgraphs for Hamiltonicity of 1-Tough Graphs

open access: diamondDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2016
A graph G is said to be 1-tough if for every vertex cut S of G, the number of components of G − S does not exceed |S|. Being 1-tough is an obvious necessary condition for a graph to be hamiltonian, but it is not sufficient in general.

Forbidden Subgraphs for Existences of (Connected) 2-Factors of a Graph

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2023
Clearly, having a 2-factor in a graph is a necessary condition for a graph to be hamiltonian, while having an even factor in graph is a necessary condition for a graph to have a 2-factor.

Forbidden Subgraphs for Collapsible Graphs and Supereulerian Graphs

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2022
In this paper, we completely characterize the connected forbidden subgraphs and pairs of connected forbidden subgraphs that force a 2-edge-connected (2-connected) graph to be collapsible.

Hamiltonian Extendable Graphs

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2022
A graph is called Hamiltonian extendable if there exists a Hamiltonian path between any two nonadjacent vertices. In this paper, we give an explicit formula of the minimum number of edges for Hamiltonian extendable graphs and we also characterize the ...

Tree in forbidden triples generating a finite set of graphs with high connectivity

open access: yesAKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2020
For a graph and a set of connected graphs, is said be -free if does not contain any member of as an induced subgraph. For , we let denote the set of all -connected -free graphs.

Paw-Type Characterization of Hourglass-Free Hamilton-Connected Graphs

open access: yesAxioms, 2023
This paper introduces the forbidden subgraph conditions for Hamilton-connected graphs. If the degree sequence of the graph is (4,2,2,2,2) and it is connected, then it is called hourglassΓ0.

Characterizing Forbidden Pairs for the Edge-Connectivity of a Connected Graph to Be Its Minimum Degree

open access: yesAxioms, 2022
Let H be a class of given graphs. A graph G is said to be H-free if G contains no induced copies of H for any H∈H. In this article, we characterize all connected subgraph pairs {R,S} guranteeing the edge-connectivity of a connected {R,S}-free graph to ...

Quantum query complexity of minor-closed graph properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We study the quantum query complexity of minor-closed graph properties, which include such problems as determining whether an $n$-vertex graph is planar, is a forest, or does not contain a path of a given length. We show that most minor-closed properties-

Upward-closed hereditary families in the dominance order [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2022
The majorization relation orders the degree sequences of simple graphs into posets called dominance orders. As shown by Ruch and Gutman (1979) and Merris (2002), the degree sequences of threshold and split graphs form upward-closed sets within the ...
