For two graphsAandB, a graphGis called-free ifGcontains neitherAnorBas an induced subgraph. Letdenote the path of ordern. For nonnegative integersk,andm, letbe the graph obtained fromand three vertex-disjoint paths,,by identifying each of the vertices ofwith one endvertex of one of the paths. Letand. Bedrossian characterized all pairsof connected graphs such that every 2-connected-free graph is Hamiltonian. All pairs appearing in the characterization involve the claw () and one of,and. In this paper, we characterize connected graphs that are (i)-free but not-free, (ii)-free but not-free, or (iii)-free but not-free. The third result is closely related to Bedrossian’s characterization. Furthermore, we apply our characterizations to some forbidden pair problems.
