Summary: 
An n-dimensional crossed cube, CQn, is a variation of the hypercube. In this paper, we prove that CQn is (n-2)-Hamiltonian and (n-3)-Hamiltonian connected. That is, a ring of length 2n-fv can be embedded in a faulty CQn with fv faulty nodes and fe faulty edges, where fv+fen-2 and n3. In other words, we show that the faulty CQn is still Hamiltonian with n-2 faults. In addition, we also prove that there exists a Hamiltonian path between any pair of vertices in a faulty CQn with n-3 faults. The above results are optimum in the sense that the fault-tolerant Hamiltonicity (fault-tolerant Hamiltonian connectivity respectively) of CQn is at most n-2 (n-3 respectively). A recent result has shown that a ring of length 2n-2fv can be embedded in a faulty hypercube, if fv+fen-1 and n4, with a few additional constraints. Our results, in comparison to the hypercube, show that longer rings can be embedded in CQn without additional constraints.
