Abstract

A graph GG is kk-edge-Hamiltonian if any collection of vertex-disjoint paths with at most kk edges altogether belong to a Hamiltonian cycle in GG. A graph GG is kk-Hamiltonian if for all SV(G)S\subseteq V(G) with Sk|S|\le k, the subgraph induced by V(G)SV(G)\setminus S has a Hamiltonian cycle. These two concepts are classical extensions for the usual Hamiltonian graphs. In this paper, we present some spectral sufficient conditions for a graph to be kk-edge-Hamiltonian and kk-Hamiltonian in terms of the adjacency spectral radius as well as the signless Laplacian spectral radius. Our results could be viewed as slight extensions of the recent theorems proved by Li and Ning [Linear Multilinear Algebra 64 (2016)], Nikiforov [Czechoslovak Math. J. 66 (2016)] and Li, Liu and Peng [Linear Multilinear Algebra 66 (2018)]. Moreover, we shall prove a stability result for graphs being kk-Hamiltonian, which could be regarded as a complement of two recent results of F\"{u}redi, Kostochka and Luo [Discrete Math. 340 (2017)] and [Discrete Math. 342 (2019)].
