摘要
The Chvatal-Erdos theorem says that a 2-connected graph with alpha(G) less than or equal to kappa(G) is hamiltonian. We extend this theorem for triangle-free graphs. We prove that if G is a 2-connected triangle-free graph of order n with alpha(G) less than or equal to 2kappa(G) - 2, then every longest cycle in G is dominating, and G has a cycle of length at least min{n - alpha(G) + kappa(G), n}.
