A sufficient condition for a balanced bipartite digraph to be hamiltonian
We describe a new type of sufficient condition for a balanced bipartite
digraph to be hamiltonian. Let be a balanced bipartite digraph and be
distinct vertices in . dominates a vertex if
and ; in this case, we call the pair dominating. In
this paper, we prove that a strong balanced bipartite digraph on
vertices contains a hamiltonian cycle if, for every dominating pair of vertices
, either and or and
. The lower bound in the result is sharp.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
