A graph G with the double domination number γ_× 2 (G) = k is said to be k-γ_× 2-critical if γ_× 2 (G + uv) lt; k for any uv ∉E(G). On the other hand, a graph G with γ_× 2 (G) = k is said to be k-γ_× 2 ^+-stable if γ_× 2 (G + uv) = k for any uv ∉E(G) and is said to be k-γ_× 2^--stable if γ_× 2 (G − uv) = k for any uv ∈ E(G). The problem of interest is to determine whether or not 2-connected k-γ_× 2-critical graphs are Hamiltonian. In this paper, for k ≥ 4, we provide a 2-connected k-γ_× 2-critical graph which is non-Hamiltonian. We prove that all 2-connected k-γ_× 2-critical claw-free graphs are Hamiltonian when 2 ≤ k ≤ 5. We show that the condition claw-free when k = 4 is best possible. We further show that every 3-connected k-γ_× 2-critical claw-free graph is Hamiltonian when 2 ≤ k ≤ 7. We also investigate Hamiltonian properties of k-γ_× 2 ^+-stable graphs and k-γ_× 2 ^--stable graphs.
