Abstract: For any undirected and simple graph G = (V;E), where V denotes the vertex set and E the edge set of G. G is called hamiltonian if it contains a cycle that visits each vertex of G exactly once. Ore (1960) proved that G is hamiltonian if degG(u) + degG(v) >= n holds for every nonadjacent pair of vertices u and v in V, where n is the total number of distinct vertices of G. Kao et al. (2012) proved that any graph G satisfying Ore's theorem remains hamiltonian after the removal of any vertex x in V unless G belongs to one of the two exceptional families of graphs. In this paper, we proved that in fact, any graph satisfying Ore's theorem remains hamiltonian after the removal of two vertices x, y in V unless G belongs to one of the nine exceptional families of graphs.
