β¦ Synopsis
We consider in this paper graphs which remain hamiltonian after the removal of k edges (k-edge hamiltonian) or k vertices (k-hamiltonian). These classes of graphs arise from reliability considerations in network design. In a previous paper, W. W. Wong and C. K. Wong presented families of minimum k-hamiltonian graphs and minimum k-edge hamiltonian graphs for k even. Here, w e complete this study in the case where k is odd.

## 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
