“…For instance, in Figure 1, the vertex x may be adjacent to more than one vertex in certain x-parts. Note that, since d&, yj) = (x,,x,') 5 3, and dG(y,,y,3 5 3, we have x,y,,x,x,',y,y,! E E(G3 -{x.Y}>.…”
This paper deals with the problem of characterizing the pairs of vertices x,y,in a connected graph G such that G3 -{x,y] is hamiltonian, where G IS the cube of G. It is known that the cube G is 2-hamiltonian if G is 2-connected. In this paper, w e first prove the stronger result that G3 -{x,y} is hamiltonian if either x or y is not a cut-vertex of G, and $en proceed to characterize those cut-vertices x and y of G such that G -(x,y) is hamiltonian. As a simple consequence of these, w e obtain Schaar's characterization of a connected graph G such that G3 is 2-hamiltonian.tween the vertices u and v in G. For any given positive integer k, the kth power of G, denoted by Gk, is the graph suchsthat
V(Gk) = V(G) and E(Gk) = {uvIdc(u,v) 5 k}.

“…A graph G is n-Hamiltonian if the removal of any set of n 2 0 points from G results in a Hamiltonian graph [2]. Note that if G is n-Hamiltonian, it is (n + 2)connected.…”
“…Following [4] Suppose th e le mma is true for all trees T' with IV(T') I < q, and let T be a tree with q vertices which satisfies the conditions of the lemma. Let T " T2,.…”
In this paper we show that the connectivity of the kth power of a graph of connectivity m is at least km if the kth power of the graph is not a complete graph. Also, we. prove th at removing as many as k -2 vertices from the kth power of a graph (k ;;. 3) leaves a Hamiltonian graph, and that removing as many as k -3 vertices from the kth power of a graph (k;;' 3) leaves a Hamiltonian con nected graph. Further, if every vertex of a graph has degree two or more, then the square of th e graph contai ns a 2-factor. Finally, we show that the squares of certain Euler graphs are Hamiltonian.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
