Antipaths in oriented graphs

Combinatorics 2024-02-07 v2

Abstract

We show that for any natural number k1k \ge 1, any oriented graph DD of minimum semidegree at least (3k2)/4(3k- 2)/4 contains an antidirected path of length kk. In fact, a slightly weaker condition on the semidegree sequence of DD suffices, and as a consequence, we confirm a weakened antidirected path version of a conjecture of Addario-Berry, Havet, Linhares Sales, Thomass\'e and Reed.
