Abstract
For a positive integer k, a graph G is kβordered hamiltonian if for every ordered sequence of k vertices there is a hamiltonian cycle that encounters the vertices of the sequence in the given order. It is shown that if G is a graph of order n with 3 β€ k β€ n/2, and deg(u) + deg(v) β₯ n + (3__k__ β 9)/2 for every pair u, v of nonadjacent vertices of G, then G is kβordered hamiltonian. Minimum degree conditions are also given for kβordered hamiltonicity. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 42: 199β210, 2003

## Abstract Let __G__ be a 2βconnected graph of order __n.__ We show that if for each pair of nonadjacent vertices __x__,__y__ β __V(G)__, then __G__ is Hamiltonian.
The Kneser graph K(n, k) has as vertices the k-subsets of [1, 2, ..., n]. Two vertices are adjacent if the k-subsets are disjoint. In this paper, we prove that K(n, k) is Hamiltonian for n 3k, and extend this to the bipartite Kneser graphs.
We present a new condition on the degree sums of a graph that implies the existence of a long cycle. Let c(G) denote the length of a longest cycle in the graph G and let rn be any positive integer. Suppose G is a 2-connected graph with vertices x,, . . . , x, and edge set E that satisfies the proper
