We prove that there exists a function $f:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that for any positive integer $k$, if $T$ is a strongly $4k$-connected tournament with minimum out-degree at least $f(k)$, then $T$ is $k$-linked. This makes…

We consider a general class of round-robin tournament models of equally strong players. In these models, each of the $n$ players competes against every other player exactly once. For each match between two players, the outcome is a value…

In his paper "Kings in Bipartite Hypertournaments" (Graphs $\&$ Combinatorics 35, 2019), Petrovic stated two conjectures on 4-kings in multipartite hypertournaments. We prove one of these conjectures and give counterexamples for the other.

Tournaments are widely used models to represent pairwise dominance between candidates, alternatives, or teams. We study the problem of providing certified explanations for why a candidate appears among the winners under various tournament…

We prove asymptotic convergence for a general class of $k$-means algorithms performed over streaming data from a distribution: the centers asymptotically converge to the set of stationary points of the $k$-means cost function. To do so, we…

Two new sufficient conditions for generalized cycles (including Hamilton and dominating cycles as special cases) in an arbitrary k-connected graph (k=1,2,...) are derived, which prove the truth of Bondy's (1980) famous conjecture for some…

If $T$ is an $n$-vertex tournament with a given number of $3$-cycles, what can be said about the number of its $4$-cycles? The most interesting range of this problem is where $T$ is assumed to have $c\cdot n^3$ cyclic triples for some $c>0$…

A conjecture of Thomassen from 1982 states that for every k there is an f(k) so that every strongly f(k)-connected tournament contains k edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. A classical theorem of Camion, that every strongly connected tournament…
