The almost-sure existence conjecture for increasing Hamiltonian paths
The almost-sure existence conjecture for increasing Hamiltonian paths
Let be the complete graph on vertices, and let be an edge ordering of , chosen uniformly at random. An -increasing Hamiltonian path is a Hamiltonian path whose edges occur in increasing order under .
Increasing Hamiltonian path conjecture. With probability tending to as , contains an -increasing Hamiltonian path.
The preceding theorem establishes only probability at least , while earlier results give almost-Hamiltonian increasing paths asymptotically almost surely. Numerical simulations suggest that the stronger almost-sure Hamiltonian statement should hold.
