Transitive Triangle Tilings in Oriented Graphs

Abstract

In this paper, we prove an analogue of Corr\'adi and Hajnal's classical theorem. There exists n0n_0 such that for every n3Zn \in 3\mathbb{Z} when nn0n \ge n_0 the following holds. If GG is an oriented graph on nn vertices and every vertex has both indegree and outdegree at least 7n/187n/18, then GG contains a perfect transitive triangle tiling, which is a collection of vertex-disjoint transitive triangles covering every vertex of GG. This result is best possible, as, for every n3Zn \in 3\mathbb{Z}, there exists an oriented graph GG on nn vertices without a perfect transitive triangle tiling in which every vertex has both indegree and outdegree at least 7n/181.\lceil 7n/18\rceil - 1.
