Abstract
Let G be an undirected connected graph that is not a path. We define h(G) (respectively, s(G)) to be the least integer m such that the iterated line graph L^m^(G) has a Hamiltonian cycle (respectively, a spanning closed trail). To obtain upper bounds on h(G) and s(G), we characterize the least integer m such that L^m^(G) has a connected subgraph H, in which each edge of H is in a 3βcycle and V(H) contains all vertices of degree not 2 in L^m^(G). We characterize the graphs G such that h(G) β 1 (respectively, s(G)) is greater than the radius of G.

## Abstract A cycle __C__ in a graph __G__ is a __Hamilton cycle__ if __C__ contains every vertex of __G__. Similarly, a path __P__ in __G__ is a __Hamilton path__ if __P__ contains every vertex of __G__. We say that __G__ is __Hamilton__β__connected__ if for any pair of vertices, __u__ and __v__ o

Using graph theory, we prove Gru nbaum's conjecture: Every Venn diagram of n curves can be extended to a Venn diagram of n+1 curves by the addition of a suitable simple closed curve.
