Abstract
It is proved that the hamiltonian index of a connected graph other than a path is less than its diameter which improves the results of P. A. Catlin etc. [J. Graph Theory 14 (1990) 347-364] and M. L. Saražin [Discrete Math. 134(1994)85-91]. Nordhaus-Gaddum's inequalities for the hamiltonian index of a graph are also established.
