Abstract:

Let G be a graph, the square graph G² of G is a graph satisfying V(G²)=V(G) and E(G²)=E(G)∪{uv: distG(u, v)=2}. In this paper, we use the technique of vertex insertion on l-connected(l=k or k+1, k≥2)claw-free graphs to provide a unified proof for G to be Hamiltonian, 1-Hamiltonian or Hamiltonian-connected. The sufficient conditions are expressed by the inequality concerning ∑^k_i=0|N(Y_i)| and n(Y) in G for each independent set Y={y₀, y₁, …, y_k} of the square graph of G, where b(0<b<k+1)is an integer, Y_i={y_i, y_i-1, …, y_i-(b-1)}⊆Y for i∈{0, 1, …, k}, where subscriptions of y_j’s will be taken modulo k+1, and n(Y)=|{v∈ V(G): dist(v, Y)≤2}|.
