Ore- and Fan-type heavy subgraphs for Hamiltonicity of 2-connected graphs
Abstract
Bedrossian characterized all pairs of forbidden subgraphs for a 2-connected graph to be Hamiltonian. Instead of forbidding some induced subgraphs, we relax the conditions for graphs to be Hamiltonian by restricting Ore- and Fan-type degree conditions on these induced subgraphs. Let be a graph on vertices and be an induced subgraph of . is called \emph{o}-heavy if there are two nonadjacent vertices in with degree sum at least , and is called -heavy if for every two vertices , implies that . We say that is -\emph{o}-heavy (-\emph{f}-heavy) if every induced subgraph of isomorphic to is \emph{o}-heavy (\emph{f}-heavy). In this paper we characterize all connected graphs and other than such that every 2-connected -\emph{f}-heavy and -\emph{f}-heavy (-\emph{o}-heavy and -\emph{f}-heavy, -\emph{f}-heavy and -free) graph is Hamiltonian. Our results extend several previous theorems on forbidden subgraph conditions and heavy subgraph conditions for Hamiltonicity of 2-connected graphs.
