On a closure concept in claw-free graphs

From MaRDI portal





If \(G\) is a claw-free graph, then there is a graph \(cl(G)\) such that (i) \(G\) is a spanning subgraph of \(cl(G)\), (ii) \(cl(G)\) is a line graph of a triangle-free graph, and (iii) the length of a longest cycle in \(G\) and in \(cl(G)\) is the same. A sufficient condition for hamiltonicity in claw-free graphs, the equivalence of some conjectures on hamiltonicity in 2-tough graphs and the hamiltonicity of 7-connected claw-free graphs are obtained as corollaries.
