  • Abstract
    A block-chain is a graph whose block graph is a path, i.e. it is either a P1, a P2, or a 2-connected graph, or a graph of connectivity 1 with exactly two end-blocks. A graph is called traceable if it contains a Hamilton path. A traceable graph is clearly a block-chain, but the reverse does not hold in general. In this paper we characterize all pairs of connected graphs {R; S} such that every {R; S}-free block-chain is traceable.
