A graph G of order at least 2 n +2 is said to be n ‐extendable if G has a perfect matching and every set of n independent edges extends to a perfect matching in G . We prove that every pair of nonadjacent vertices x and y in a connected n ‐extendable graph of order p satisfy deg G x +deg G y  ≥  p  −  n  − 1, then either G is hamiltonian or G is isomorphic to one of two exceptional graphs. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
