Abstract
Let G be a kβconnected graph of order n. For an independent set c, let d(S) be the number of vertices adjacent to at least one vertex of S and > let i(S) be the number of vertices adjacent to at least |S| vertices of S. We prove that if there exists some s, 1 β€ s β€ k, such that Ξ£~x__i__EX~ d(X{X~i~}) > s(nβ1) β k[s/2] β i(X)[(sβ1)/2] holds for every independetn set X ={x~0~, x~1~ βx~s~} of s + 1 vertices, then G is hamiltonian. Several known results, including Fraisse's sufficient condition for hamiltonian graphs, are dervied as corollaries.

We prove the following conjecture of Broersma and Veldman: A connected, locally k-connected K,,-free graph is k-hamiltonian if and only if it is (k + 2)-connected ( k L 1). We use [ 11 for basic terminology and notation, and consider simple graphs only. Let G be a graph. By V(G) and E(G) we denote,
