چکیده

By using the probabilistic method, we show that the maximum number of directed Hamiltonian paths in a complete directed graph with n vertices is at least (e− o(1)) n! 2n−1 .

The maximum number of Hamiltonian paths in tournaments

Solving an old conjecture of Szele we show that the maximum number of directed Hamiltonian paths in a tournament on n vertices is at most c · n · n! 2n−1 , where c is a positive constant independent of n.

t-Pancyclic Arcs in Tournaments

Let $T$ be a non-trivial tournament. An arc is emph{$t$-pancyclic} in $T$, if it is contained in a cycle of length $ell$ for every $tleq ell leq |V(T)|$. Let $p^t(T)$ denote the number of $t$-pancyclic arcs in $T$ and $h^t(T)$ the maximum number of $t$-pancyclic arcs contained in the same Hamiltonian cycle of $T$. Moon ({em J. Combin. Inform. System Sci.}, {bf 19} (1994), 207-214) showed that $...

Strong Tournaments with the Fewest Hamiltonian Paths

Busch recently determined the minimum number of Hamiltonian paths a strong tournament can have. We characterize the strong tournaments that realize this minimum.

Edge-disjoint Hamiltonian Paths and Cycles in Tournaments

We describe sufficient conditions for the existence of Hamiltonian paths in oriented graphs and use these to provide a complete description of the tournaments with no two edge-disjoint Hamiltonian paths. We prove that tournaments with small irregularity have many edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in support of Kelly's conjecture.

Paths, Trees and Cycles in Tournaments

We survey results on paths, trees and cycles in tournaments. The main subjects are hamiltonian paths and cycles, vertex and arc disjoint paths with prescribed endvertices, arc-pancyclicity, oriented paths, trees and cycles in tournaments. Several unsolved problems are included.
