Abstract
A graph G is quadrangularly connected if for every pair of edges e1e1 and e2e2 in E(G)E(G), G has a sequence of l -cycles (3≤l≤4)(3≤l≤4)C1,C2,…,CrC1,C2,…,Cr such that e1∈E(C1)e1∈E(C1) and e2∈E(Cr)e2∈E(Cr) and E(Ci)∩E(Ci+1)≠∅E(Ci)∩E(Ci+1)≠∅ for i=1,2,…,r-1i=1,2,…,r-1. In this paper, we show that every quadrangularly connected claw-free graph without vertices of degree 1, which does not contain an induced subgraph H isomorphic to either G1G1 or G2G2 such that N1(x,G)N1(x,G) of every vertex x of degree 4 in H is disconnected is hamiltonian, which implies a result by Z.
