Abstract

Let G be a graph on n vertices. An induced subgraph H of G is called heavy if there exist two nonadjacent vertices in H with degree sum at least n in G. We say that G is H-heavy if every induced subgraph of G isomorphic to H is heavy. For a family H of graphs, G is called H-heavy if G is H-heavy for every H\inH. In this paper we characterize all connected graphs R and S other than P3 (the path on three vertices) such that every 2-connected \R,S\-heavy graph is Hamiltonian. This extends several previous results on forbidden subgraph conditions for Hamiltonian graphs.
