A graph is calledclaw-freeif it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic toK1,3. Matthews and Sumner proved that a 2-connected claw-free graphGis Hamiltonian if every vertex of it has degree at least (|V(G)| − 2)/3. At the workshop Camp;C (Novy Smokovec, 1993), Broersma conjectured the degree condition of this result can be restricted only to end-vertices of induced copies ofN(the graph obtained from a triangle by adding three disjoint pendant edges). Fujisawa and Yamashita showed that the degree condition of Matthews and Sumner can be restricted only to end-vertices of induced copies ofZ1(the graph obtained from a triangle by adding one pendant edge). Our main result in this paper is a characterization of all graphsHsuch that a 2-connected claw-free graphGis Hamiltonian if each end-vertex of every induced copy ofHinGhas degree at least |V(G)|/3+1. This gives an affirmative solution of the conjecture of Broersma up to an additive constant.
