Using this result, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for hamiltonicity of the square of a connected graph such that every vertex of degree at least three in a block graph corresponds to a cut vertex and any two these vertices are at distance at least four.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-06-21T11:57:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C45" ], "keywords": [ "hamiltonian cycles", "block graph corresponds", "sufficient conditions", "cut vertex", "hamiltonian square" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.4846E" } } }
