A graph {\color{black}$G$} is Hamilton-connected if for any pair of distinct vertices {\color{black}$u, v \in V(G)$}, {\color{black}$G$} has a spanning $(u,v)$-path; {\color{black}$G$} is 1-hamiltonian if for any vertex subset $S \subseteq {\color{black}V(G)}$ with $|S| \le 1$, $G - S$ has a spanning cycle. Let $\delta(G)$, $\alpha'(G)$ and $L(G)$ denote the minimum degree, the matching number and the line graph of a graph $G$, respectively. The following result is obtained. {\color{black} Let $G$ be a simple graph} with $|E(G)| \ge 3$. If $\delta(G) \geq \alpha'(G)$, then each of the following holds. \\ (i) $L(G)$ is Hamilton-connected if and only if $\kappa(L(G))\ge …

Finite Matroidal Spaces And Matrological Spaces, Ziyad M. Hamad

The purpose of this thesis is to present new different spaces as attempts to generalize the concept of topological vector spaces. A topological vector space, a well-known concept in mathematics, is a vector space over a field \mathbb{F} with a topology that makes the addition and scalar multiplication operations of the vector space continuous functions. The field \mathbb{F} is usually \mathbb{R} or \mathbb{C} with their standard topologies. Since every vector space is a finitary matroid, we define two spaces called finite matroidal spaces and matrological spaces by replacing the linear structure of the topological vector space with a finitary matroidal …
