Hamiltonian properties are vital metrics for the structural robustness and communication efficiency of interconnection networks. Formally, a Hamiltonian path in a graph G is defined as a path that includes every vertex from the vertex set of G exactly one time. When this property holds for all possible pairs of distinct vertices in G, the graph is classified as Hamiltonian-connected. Similarly, a cycle which passes through each vertex of a graph precisely one time is called Hamiltonian. Consequently, any graph that contains at least one Hamiltonian cycle earns the designation of being a Hamiltonian graph. The graph Bn,k, known as the (n, k)-bubble sort graph, refers to a significant interconnection structure, formed by generalizing the classical bubble-sort graph Bn. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of fault Hamiltonian properties for Bn,k. We prove that, for T ⊂ V(Bn,k) ∪ E(Bn,k) and under conditions n ≥ 6, k ≥ 2, n−k≥2 , the graph Bn,k−T admits a Hamiltonian cycle when |T|≤n−3 , and is Hamiltonian connected when |T|≤n−4 .
