摘要
Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is Hamiltonian. A vertex cut X of G is essential if G-X has at least two non-trivial components. We prove that every 3-connected. essentially 11-connected line graph is Hamiltonian. Using Ryjcaek's line graph closure. it follows that every 3-connected. essentially 11-connected claw-free graph is Hamiltonian. (C) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
