Let G be a graph. The partially square graph G ∗ of G is a graph obtained from G by adding edges uv satisfying the conditions uv∉E(G), and there is some w∈N(u)∩N(v), such that N(w)⊆N(u)∪N(v)∪{u,v}. A non-negative rational sequence (a 1,a 2,…,a k+1) is called an LTW-sequence if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) a 1⩽1; (2) for arbitrary i 1,i 2,…,i h∈{2,3,…,k+1},∑ j=1 hi j⩽k+1 implies ∑ j=1 h(a i j −1)⩽1 . In this paper, we will use the technique of the vertex insertion on l-connected ( l=k,k−1 or k+1,k⩾2) graphs to provide a unified proof for G to be hamiltonian, traceable, 1-hamiltonian or hamiltonian-connected, the sufficient conditions are expressed by weighted sums of the neighborhood intersections in G of independent sets in G ∗ , where the weights are LTW-sequences.
