摘要

A graph is homogeneously traceable if each vertex is an endpoint of a Hamiltonian path. Chartrand, Gould, and Kapoor (1979) proved irregular homogeneously traceable nonhamiltonian graphs exist for every order n9n\ge 9. Hu and Zhan (DAM, 2022) considered the 33-regular and 44-regular cases and asked which order nn can be realized by a kk-regular homogeneously traceable nonhamiltonian graph. Recently, Liu and Qiao (DAM, 2026) showed that n=p(k1)+q6(k1)+qn=p(k-1)+q\ge 6(k-1)+q can be realized if k5k\ge 5 is odd and q{0,2,4,6}q\in\{0,2,4,6\}, or k6k\ge 6 is even and q{0,1,...,6}q\in\{0,1,...,6\}. In this paper, we show that for any k6k\ge 6 and n6(k2)n\ge 6(k-2), there exists a kk-regular homogeneously traceable nonhamiltonian graph of order nn.
