Abstract

Let K"n denote a complete graph of n nodes. In this paper, assuming that each vertex is incident with at least two fault-free links, we show that K"n can tolerate up to 2n-8 edge faults, while retaining a fault-free Hamiltonian cycle, where n=4 and n@?{7,9}. When n@?{7,9},K"n contains a fault-free Hamiltonian cycle if there are up to 2n-9 edge faults. The result is optimal with respect to the number of edge faults tolerated.
