Finding near-rainbow Hamilton cycles in properly edge-coloured graphs was first studied by Andersen, who proved in 1989 that every proper edge colouring of the complete graph on $n$ vertices contains a Hamilton cycle with at least…

A subgraph of an edge-coloured complete graph is called rainbow if all its edges have different colours. In 1980 Hahn conjectured that every properly edge-coloured complete graph $K_n$ has a rainbow Hamiltonian path. Although this…

A subgraph $H$ of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all of the edges of $H$ have different colours. In 1989, Andersen conjectured that every proper edge-colouring of $K_{n}$ admits a rainbow path of length $n-2$. We show that…

We prove several results regarding edge-colored complete graphs and rainbow cycles, cycles with no color appearing on more than one edge. We settle a question posed by Ball, Pultr, and Vojt\v{e}chovsk\'{y} by showing that if such a coloring…

We prove that every properly edge-colored $n$-vertex graph with average degree at least $100(\log n)^2$ contains a rainbow cycle, improving upon $(\log n)^{2+o(1)}$ bound due to Tomon. We also prove that every properly colored $n$-vertex…

An edge-colored graph is a graph in which each edge is assigned a color. Such a graph is called strongly edge-colored if each color class forms an induced matching, and called rainbow if all edges receive pairwise distinct colors. In this…

Let $G_1,...,G_n$ be graphs on the same vertex set of size $n$, each graph with minimum degree $\delta(G_i)\ge n/2$. A recent conjecture of Aharoni asserts that there exists a rainbow Hamiltonian cycle i.e. a cycle with edge set…

A famous conjecture of Caccetta and H\"{a}ggkvist (CHC) states that a directed graph $D$ with $n$ vertices and minimum outdegree at least $r$ has a directed cycle of length at most $\lceil \frac{n}{r}\rceil$. In 2017, Aharoni proposed the…

A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all its edges have different colours. The problem of finding rainbow subgraphs goes back to the work of Euler on transversals in Latin squares and was extensively studied since then.…

In a properly edge colored graph, a subgraph using every color at most once is called rainbow. In this thesis, we study rainbow cycles and paths in proper edge colorings of complete graphs, and we prove that in every proper edge coloring of…

Let $K_n^c$ be an edge-coloured complete graph on $n$ vertices. Let $\Delta_{\rm mon}(K_n^c)$ denote the largest number of edges of the same colour incident with a vertex of $K_n^c$. A properly coloured cycle is a cycle such that no two…

Given a graph on $n$ vertices and an assignment of colours to the edges, a rainbow Hamilton cycle is a cycle of length $n$ visiting each vertex once and with pairwise different colours on the edges. Similarly (for even $n$) a rainbow…

In 2017, Ron Aharoni made the following conjecture about rainbow cycles in edge-coloured graphs: If $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph whose edges are coloured with $n$ colours and each colour class has size at least $r$, then $G$ contains a…

Let $c$ be an edge-coloring of the complete $n$-vertex graph $K_n$. The problem of finding properly colored and rainbow Hamilton cycles in $c$ was initiated in 1976 by Bollob\'as and Erd\H os and has been extensively studied since then.…

We investigate the existence of a rainbow Hamilton cycle in a uniformly edge-coloured randomly perturbed digraph. We show that for every $\delta \in (0,1)$ there exists $C = C(\delta) > 0$ such that the following holds. Let $D_0$ be an…

One of the most famous results in the theory of random graphs establishes that the threshold for Hamiltonicity in the Erdos-Renyi random graph G_{n,p} is around p ~ (log n + log log n) / n. Much research has been done to extend this to…
