Abstract
Woodall has shown that every 3/2-binding graph is hamiltonian. In this paper, we consider best monotone degree conditions for a b-binding graph to be hamiltonian, for 1≤b<3/2. We first establish such a condition for b=1. We then give a best monotone degree condition for a b-binding graph to be 1-tough, for 1<<3/2, and conjecture that this condition is also the best monotone degree condition for a b-binding graph to be hamiltonian, for 1<<3/2.
