Proof: Every Tournament has Hamiltonian Path | Graph Theory

Показать описание
We prove that every tournament graph contains a Hamiltonian path, that is a path containing every vertex of the graph. Recall a tournament is a directed graph with exactly one arc between each pair of vertices. The proof will proceed by contradiction, and follow a similar format to other proofs we have seen related to Hamiltonian paths, Hamiltonian cycles, and Hamiltonian graphs. #GraphTheory

please keep making these videos you have no idea how much you are helping us. even the dumbest bloke like me😃 could easily understand your explanation. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thank for this video, could you please explain the proof of Eulerian Trail Theorem?

The fact that every tournament has a Hamiltonian Path didn't automatically seem self-evident to me. Thanks for providing a really nice explanation as always 🙏

Why does this switch has to happen? I don't get it

I should say that, I‘m still a bit confused that, why the directions of (v, v_i) and (v, v_{i+1}) should be different...

Great explanation! I love Graph theory proofs. My main takeaway, however, was that for a problem I’m currently working on, I’ve been thinking about Hamiltonian cycles as opposed to paths. Turns out that last edge makes a big difference :)

Love it! I didn't know anything about tournaments before watching your videos, so this has been a lot of fun.
