Rainbow Hamiltonicity in uniformly coloured perturbed digraphs

Abstract

We investigate the existence of a rainbow Hamilton cycle in a uniformly edge-coloured randomly perturbed digraph. We show that for every δ(0,1)\delta \in (0,1) there exists C=C(δ)>0C = C(\delta) > 0 such that the following holds. Let D0D_0 be an nn-vertex digraph with minimum semidegree at least δn\delta n and suppose that each edge of the union of D0D_0 with the random digraph D(n,p)D(n, p) on the same vertex set gets a colour in [n][n] independently and uniformly at random. Then, with high probability, D0D(n,p)D_0 \cup D(n, p) has a rainbow directed Hamilton cycle. This improves a result of Aigner-Horev and Hefetz (2021) who proved the same in the undirected setting when the edges are coloured uniformly in a set of (1+ε)n(1 + \varepsilon)n colours.
