Hendry's cycle-extendibility conjecture for Hamiltonian chordal graphs
Hendry's cycle-extendibility conjecture for Hamiltonian chordal graphs
Let be a simple, finite, connected, undirected graph. A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle containing every vertex, and it is chordal if it contains no induced cycle of length at least . A cycle is cycle extendible if, whenever is non-Hamiltonian, there is a cycle with and . A graph is fully cycle extendible if it is cycle extendible and every vertex lies in a triangle.
Hendry's conjecture. Every Hamiltonian chordal graph is fully cycle extendible.
The conjecture was disproved; in particular, the paper studies counterexamples under stronger graph-theoretic conditions, including strong chordality and high connectivity.
