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...

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.

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.

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.
