Spectral radius and the 2-power of Hamilton paths

Te Pi, Rui Sun, Long-Tu Yuan

Abstract

We determine the maximum number of a graph without containing the 2-power of a Hamilton path. Using this result, we establish a spectral condition for a graph containing the 2-power of a Hamilton path.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $G$ be a graph on $n\geqslant4$ vertices. If $e(G)\geqslant {n-1 \choose 2}+1$, then $G$ contains a Hamilton cycle unless $G= K_n -E(S_{n-1})$ or $G=K_5 -E(K_3)$.
