This was extended by Li and Yang to 3-connected, essentially 10-connected graphs. Strengthening their result further, we prove that 3-connected, essentially 9-connected line graphs are Hamilton-connected. We use a method based on quasigraphs in combination with the discharging technique. The result extends to claw-free graphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-31T19:11:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C45" ], "keywords": [ "line graph", "hamiltonicity", "result extends", "claw-free graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
