We show that if the orientation forms a periodic pattern, other than the trivial pattern, then approximately half the usual $n\\log n$ edges are needed to guarantee the existence of such Hamilton cycles a.a.s.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-18T00:38:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hamilton cycles", "random digraph", "periodic pattern", "trivial orientation", "orientation forms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
