Polychromatic Hamilton cycles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The edges of the complete graph Kn are coloured so that no colour appears no more than k times, k = [n/Alnn], for some sufficiently large A. We show that there is always a Hamiltonian cycle in which each edge is a different colour. The proof technique is probabilistic. 'Supported by NSF grant CCR-89000112

Polychromatic colorings of complete graphs with respect to 1-, 2-factors and Hamiltonian cycles
If G is a graph and H is a set of subgraphs of G, then an edge-coloring of G is called H-polychromatic if every graph from H gets all colors present in G on its edges. The H-polychromatic number of G, denoted polyH(G), is the largest number of colors in an H-polychromatic coloring. In this paper, polyH(G) is determined exactly when G is a complete graph and H is the family of all 1-factors. In ...
متن کاملOn the Number of Hamilton Cycles in Bounded Degree Graphs
The main contribution of this paper is a new approach for enumerating Hamilton cycles in bounded degree graphs – deriving thereby extremal bounds. We describe an algorithm which enumerates all Hamilton cycles of a given 3-regular n-vertex graph in time O(1.276), improving on Eppstein’s previous bound. The resulting new upper bound of O(1.276) for the maximum number of Hamilton cycles in 3-regul...
متن کاملMaximal sets of hamilton cycles in complete multipartite graphs
A set S of edge-disjoint hamilton cycles in a graph G is said to be maximal if the edges in the hamilton cycles in S induce a subgraph H of G such that G EðHÞ contains no hamilton cycles. In this context, the spectrum SðGÞ of a graph G is the set of integersm such that G contains a maximal set of m edge-disjoint hamilton cycles. This spectrum has
متن کاملAlspach's Problem: The Case of Hamilton Cycles and 5-Cycles
In this paper, we settle Alspach’s problem in the case of Hamilton cycles and 5cycles; that is, we show that for all odd integers n ≥ 5 and all nonnegative integers h and t with hn + 5t = n(n − 1)/2, the complete graph Kn decomposes into h Hamilton cycles and t 5-cycles and for all even integers n ≥ 6 and all nonnegative integers h and t with hn+5t = n(n−2)/2, the complete graph Kn decomposes i...
متن کاملOn covering expander graphs by hamilton cycles
The problem of packing Hamilton cycles in random and pseudorandom graphs has been studied extensively. In this paper, we look at the dual question of covering all edges of a graph by Hamilton cycles and prove that if a graph with maximum degree ∆ satisfies some basic expansion properties and contains a family of (1−o(1))∆/2 edge disjoint Hamilton cycles, then there also exists a covering of its...
