Given a connected graph H, its reciprocal degree distance is defined asRDD(H)=∑x≠ydH(vx)+dH(vy)dH(vx,vy), where dH(vx) denotes the degree of the vertex vx in the graph H and dH(vx,vy) is the shortest distance between vx and vy in H. The goal of this paper is to establish some sufficient conditions to judge that a graph to be ħ-hamiltonian, ħ-path-coverable or ħ-edge-hamiltonian by employing the reciprocal degree distance.
