Abstract

A graph GG is Hamiltonian-connected if there exists a Hamiltonian path between any two vertices of GG. It is known that if GG is 2-connected then the graph G2G^2 is Hamiltonian-connected. In this paper we prove that the square of every self-complementary graph of order grater than 4 is Hamiltonian-connected. If GG is a kk-critical graph, then we prove that the Mycielski graph μ(G)\mu(G) is (k+1)(k+1)-critical graph. Jarnicki et al.[7] proved that for every Hamiltonian graph of odd order, the Mycielski graph μ(G)\mu(G) of GG is Hamiltonian-connected. They also pose a conjecture that if GG is Hamiltonian-connected and not K2K_2 then μ(G)\mu(G) is Hamiltonian-connected. In this paper we also prove this conjecture.
