A spanning path in a graph G is called a Hamiltonian path. To determine which graphs possess such paths is an NP-complete problem. A graph G is called Hamiltonian-connected if any two vertices of G are connected by a Hamiltonian path. We consider here the family of Toeplitz graphs. About them, it is known only for n=3 that Tnp,q is Hamiltonian-connected, while some particular cases of Tnp,q,r for p=1 and q=2,3,4 have also been investigated regarding Hamiltonian connectedness. Here, we prove that the nonbipartite Toeplitz graph Tn1,q,r is Hamiltonian-connected for all 1<q<r<n and n≥5r−2.
