Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">Let ⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>) denote the class of non-bipartite graphs on <i>n</i> vertices containing no <sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>-graph and ⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>)=max⁡{ℰ⁡():∈⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>)}. Let ℋ⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>) denote the class of non-bipartite Hamiltonian graphs on <i>n</i> vertices containing no <sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>-graph and ℎ⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>)=max⁡{ℰ⁡():∈ℋ⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>)}. In this paper we determine ℎ⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>) by proving that for sufficiently large odd <i>n</i>, ℎ⁡(;<sub>2</sub><sub>⁢</sub><sub></sub><sub>+</sub><sub>1</sub>)≤⌊(−2⁢+3)24⌋+2⁢−3. Furthermore, the bound is best possible. Our results confirm the conjecture made by Bataineh in 2007.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09728600.2022.2145922" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09728600.2022.2145922</a></p>
