摘要
如果 P 的每两条连续弧的方向相反,则称为反定向路径 P。如果由 k 个顶点诱导的每个子图都有一条哈密顿反定向路径,则称为 k 反定向图。我们提出并研究了一个猜想,即对于每一个整数 k≥2 都有一个最小整数 f(k),使得 f(k) 顶点上的每一个 k-anti-traceable 有向图都有一条哈密顿反向路径。我们确定了 f(2),f(3),f(4),并证明在足够大的 n 个顶点上的每个 k 反跟踪定向图都有一条反定向路径,该路径包含除 o(n) 个顶点之外的所有顶点。
An oriented path P is called anti-directed if every two consecutive arcs of P have opposite orientations. An oriented graph is called k-anti-traceable if every subdigraph induced by k vertices has a hamiltonian anti-directed path. We introduce and study a conjecture, which claims that for every integer there is a least integer such that each k-anti-traceable oriented graph on vertices has a hamiltonian anti-directed path. We determine and show that every k-anti-traceable oriented graph on sufficiently large number n of vertices admits an anti-directed path that contains all but vertices.
期刊介绍:
Discrete Mathematics provides a common forum for significant research in many areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. Among the fields covered by Discrete Mathematics are graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, and discrete probability theory.
Items in the journal include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics.
