Abstract
Thomassen [6] conjectured that if I is a set of
k−1 arcs in a k-strong tournament T, then
T−I has a Hamiltonian cycle. This conjecture was
proved by Fraisse and Thomassen [3]. We prove the following stronger
result. Let T=(V, A) be a k-strong
tournament on n vertices and let
X1, X2, [ctdot ], Xl
be a partition of the vertex set V of T such that
[mid ]X1[mid ][les ][mid ]X2[mid ]
[les ][ctdot ][les ][mid ]Xl[mid ]. If k[ges ][sum ]
l−1i=1[lfloor ]
[mid ]Xi[mid ]/2[rfloor ]+[mid ]Xl[mid ], then
T−∪li=1
{xy∈A[ratio ]x,
y∈Xi} has a Hamiltonian cycle.
The bound on k is sharp.
