英文摘要	Matthews and Sumner have proved in [12] that if G is a 2-connected claw-free graph of order n such that delta greater than or equal to(n - 2)/3, then G is hamiltonian. Li has shown that the bound for the minimum degree delta can be reduced to n/4 under the additional condition that G is not in Pi, where Pi is a class of graphs defined in [7]. On the other hand, we say that a graph G is almost claw-free if the centres of induced claws are independent and their neighbourhoods are 2-dominated. Broersma, Ryjacek and Schiermeyer have proved that if G is 2-connected almost claw-free graph of order n such that delta greater than or equal to(n - 2)/3, then G is hamiltonian. We generalize these results by considering the graphs whose claw centres are independent. If G is a 2-connected graph of order n and minimum degree delta such that n less than or equal to 4 delta - 3 and if the set of claw centres of G is independent, then we show that either G is hamiltonian or G is an element of F, where F is a class of graphs defined in the paper. The bound n less than or equal to delta - 3 is sharp.
