Endpoint extendable paths in tournaments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let s(n) be the threshold for which each directed path of order smaller than s ( n ) is extendible from one of its endpoints in some tournament T,. It is shown that s(n) is asymptotic to 3n/4, with an error term at most 3 for infinitely many n. There are six tournaments with s (n) = n.

Monochromatic paths and monochromatic sets of arcs in bipartite tournaments
We call the digraph D an m-coloured digraph if the arcs of D are coloured with m colours and all of them are used. A directed path is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are coloured alike. A set N of vertices of D is called a kernel by monochromatic paths if for every pair of vertices there is no monochromatic path between them and for every vertex v in V (D) \ N there is a monochromatic p...
متن کاملPaths, 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.
متن کاملEdge-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.
متن کاملHAMILTON PATHS IN TOURNAMENTS AND A PROBLEM OF McMULLEN ON PROJECTIVE TRANSFORMATIONS IN R
An upper bound for McMullen's problem on projective transformations in R is derived from Redei's classical theorem on Hamilton paths in tournaments.
متن کاملStrong 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.
