Let G be a graph on n vertices, p the order of a longest path and κ the connectivity of G. In 1989, Bauer, Broersma Li and Veldman proved that if G is a 2-connected graph with d(x)+d(y)+d(z)≥ n+κ for all triples x,y,z of independent vertices, then G is hamiltonian. In this paper we improve this result by reducing the lower bound n+κ to p+κ.
