Title
Forbidden subgraphs that imply k-ordered and k-ordered Hamiltonian
Abstract
For a positive integer k , a graph G is k-ordered if for every ordered sequence of k vertices, there is a cycle that encounters the vertices in the sequence in the given order. If the cycle is also a hamiltonian cycle, then G is said to be k-ordered hamiltonian . Forbidden connected subgraphs and forbidden pairs of connected subgraphs that imply that a 2-connected graph is hamiltonian have been characterized. Each of these forbidden subgraph conditions will be investigated to determine if it implies more than just hamiltonicity, but in fact it implies k -ordered or k -ordered hamiltonian in the presence of the appropriate connectivity on the graph. More general classes of forbidden subgraphs that imply k -ordered and k -ordered hamiltonian will also be considered.
