For an integer s≥ 0, G is s-hamiltonian-connected if for any vertex subset S⊆ V(G) with |S|≤ s, G-S is hamiltonian-connected. Thomassen in 1984 conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian (see [Reflections on graph theory, J. Graph Theory 10 (1986) 309–324]), and Kužel and Xiong in 2004 conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian-connected (see [Z. Ryjáček and P. Vrána, Line graphs of multigraphs and Hamilton-connectedness of claw-free graphs, J. Graph Theory 66 (2011) 152–173]). In this paper we prove the following. (i) For s≥ 3, every (s+4)-connected line graph is s-hamiltonian-connected. (ii) For s≥ 0, every (s+4)-connected line graph of a claw-free graph is s-hamiltonian-connected.
