Title
Equivalence of Jackson's and Thomassen's conjectures
Abstract
A graph G is said to be claw-free if G has no induced subgraph isomorphic to K 1 , 3 . For a cycle C in a graph G, C is called a Tutte cycle of G if C is a Hamilton cycle of G, or the order of C is at least 4 and every component of G - C has at most three neighbors on C. Ryjáček (1997) 17] proved that the conjectures by Matthews and Sumner (every 4-connected claw-free graph is Hamiltonian) and by Thomassen (every 4-connected line graph is Hamiltonian) are equivalent. In this paper, we show the above conjectures are equivalent with the conjecture by Jackson in 1992 (every 2-connected claw-free graph has a Tutte cycle).
