Powers of paths in tournaments

In this short note we prove that every tournament contains the k-th power of a directed path of linear length. This improves upon recent results of Yuster and of Girão. We also give a complete solution for this problem when k = 2, showing that there is always a square of a directed path of length [2...

Περίληψη:In this short note we prove that every tournament contains the k-th power of a directed path of linear length. This improves upon recent results of Yuster and of Girão. We also give a complete solution for this problem when k = 2, showing that there is always a square of a directed path of length [2n/3] − 1, which is best possible.
