This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Use of Self-Archived VersionsWe show the existence of rainbow perfect matchings in µn-bounded edge colorings of Dirac bipartite graphs, for a sufficiently small µ¿>¿0. As an application of our results, we obtain several results on the existence of rainbow k-factors in Dirac graphs and rainbow spanning subgraphs of bounded maximum degree on graphs with large minimum degree

Counting oriented trees in digraphs with large minimum semidegree

Let $T$ be an oriented tree on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $e^{o(\sqrt{\log n})}$. If $G$ is a digraph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree $\delta^0(G)\geq(\frac12+o(1))n$, then $G$ contains $T$ as a spanning tree, as recently shown by Kathapurkar and Montgomery (in fact, they only require maximum degree $o(n/\log n)$). This generalizes the corresponding result by Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi for graphs. We investigate the natural question how many copies of $T$ the digraph $G$ contains. Our main result states that every such $G$ contains at least $|Aut(T)|^{-1}(\frac12-o(1))^nn!$ copies of $T$, which is optimal. This implies the analogous result in the undirected case.Comment: 24 page
