We also characterize the extremal graphs that attain this maximum size. This work generalizes a previous result obtained by Ore [ J. Math. Pures Appl. 42 (1963) 21-27] and further extends a theorem proved by Ho, Lin, Tan, Hsu, and Hsu [Appl. Math. Lett. 23 (2010) 26-29]. As a corollary of our main result, we determine the maximum size of a $k$-connected nonhamiltonian-connected graph with a given order.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-09-16T13:06:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "maximum size", "nonhamiltonian-connected graph", "minimum degree", "main result", "work generalizes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
