4-connected 1-planar chordal graphs are Hamiltonian-connected

Tutte proved that 4-connected planar graphs are Hamiltonian. It is unknown if there is an analogous result on 1-planar graphs. In this paper, we characterize 4-connected 1-planar chordal graphs, and show that all such graphs are Hamiltonian-connected. A crucial tool used in our proof is a characteristic of 1-planar 4-trees.
