A survey on Hamilton cycles in directed graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We survey some recent results on long-standing conjectures regarding Hamilton cycles in directed graphs, oriented graphs and tournaments. We also combine some of these to prove the following approximate result towards Kelly’s conjecture on Hamilton decompositions of regular tournaments: the edges of every regular tournament can be covered by a set of Hamilton cycles which are ‘almost’ edge-disjoint. We also highlight the role that the notion of ‘robust expansion’ plays in several of the proofs. New and old open problems are discussed.

A Brief Introduction to Hamilton Cycles in Random Graphs
We survey results concerning Hamilton cycles in random graphs. Specifically, we focus on existence results for general and regular graphs, and discuss algorithms for finding Hamilton cycles and solving related problems (that succeed with high probability).
متن کاملPacking, Counting and Covering Hamilton cycles in random directed graphs
A Hamilton cycle in a digraph is a cycle passes through all the vertices, where all the arcs are oriented in the same direction. The problem of finding Hamilton cycles in directed graphs is well studied and is known to be hard. One of the main reasons for this, is that there is no general tool for finding Hamilton cycles in directed graphs comparable to the so called Posá ‘rotationextension’ te...
متن کاملFinding Hamilton cycles in robustly expanding digraphs
We provide an NC algorithm for finding Hamilton cycles in directed graphs with a certain robust expansion property. This property captures several known criteria for the existence of Hamilton cycles in terms of the degree sequence and thus we provide algorithmic proofs of (i) an ‘oriented’ analogue of Dirac’s theorem and (ii) an approximate version (for directed graphs) of Chvátal’s theorem.
متن کاملOn independent domination numbers of grid and toroidal grid directed graphs
A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...
متن کاملCounting Hamilton cycles in sparse random directed graphs
Let D(n, p) be the random directed graph on n vertices where each of the n(n− 1) possible arcs is present independently with probability p. It is known that if p ≥ (log n+ ω(1))/n then D(n, p) typically has a directed Hamilton cycle, and this is best possible. We show that under the same condition, the number of directed Hamilton cycles in D(n, p) is typically n!(p(1 + o(1))) . We also prove a ...
