Hourglasses and Hamilton cycles in 4-connected claw-free graphs (2003)
Tomas Kaiser, Mingchu Li, Zdenek Ryjacek, Liming Xiong
We show that if G is a 4-connected claw-free graph in which every induced hourglass subgraph S contains two non-adjacent vertices with a common neighbor outside S, then G is hamiltonian. This extends...
Studying salt stress is an important means to the understanding of plant ion homeostasis and osmo-balance. Salt stress research also benefits agriculture because soil salinity significantly limits...
