Title
Pancyclicity of claw-free hamiltonian graphs
Abstract
A graph G on n vertices is called subpancyclic if it contains cycles of every length k with 3 ⩽ k ⩽ c ( G ), where c ( G ) denotes the length of a longest cycle in G ; if moreover c ( G ) = n , then G is called pancyclic . By a result of Flandrin et al. a claw-free graph (on at least 35 vertices) with minimum degree at least 1 3 (n − 2) is pancyclic. This degree bound is best possible. We prove that for a claw-free graph to be subpancyclic we only need the degree condition δ > √3 n + 1 − 2. Again, this degree bound is best possible. It follows directly that under the same condition a hamiltonian claw-free graph is pancyclic.
