Jackson's Tutte-cycle conjecture for 2-connected claw-free graphs
Jackson's Tutte-cycle conjecture for 2-connected claw-free graphs
A graph is claw-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to . A graph is 2-connected if it is connected and remains connected after deleting any one vertex. A Tutte cycle is a cycle such that every component of has at most three neighbours on .
Jackson's conjecture. Every -connected claw-free graph has a Tutte cycle.
This is presented as an equivalent formulation of Thomassen's open conjecture on Hamilton cycles in 4-connected line graphs. The equivalence is obtained using the closure technique, but the conjecture itself remains unresolved.
