Proper Hamiltonian Cycles in Edge-Colored Multigraphs
A -edge-colored multigraph has each edge colored with one of the
available colors and no two parallel edges have the same color. A proper
Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle containing all the vertices of the multigraph such
that no two adjacent edges have the same color. In this work we establish
sufficient conditions for a multigraph to have a proper Hamiltonian cycle,
depending on several parameters such as the number of edges and the rainbow
degree.Comment: 13 page
Bounded colorings of multipartite graphs and hypergraphs
Let be an edge-coloring of the complete -vertex graph . The
problem of finding properly colored and rainbow Hamilton cycles in was
initiated in 1976 by Bollob\'as and Erd\H os and has been extensively studied
since then. Recently it was extended to the hypergraph setting by Dudek, Frieze
and Ruci\'nski. We generalize these results, giving sufficient local (resp.
global) restrictions on the colorings which guarantee a properly colored (resp.
rainbow) copy of a given hypergraph .
We also study multipartite analogues of these questions. We give (up to a
constant factor) optimal sufficient conditions for a coloring of the
complete balanced -partite graph to contain a properly colored or rainbow
copy of a given graph with maximum degree . Our bounds exhibit a
surprising transition in the rate of growth, showing that the problem is
fundamentally different in the regimes and Our
main tool is the framework of Lu and Sz\'ekely for the space of random
bijections, which we extend to product spaces
