Date and Time: Wednesday, June 28, 2017, 12:15 pm
Duration: 30 minutes
Location: OAT S15/S16/S17
Speaker: Marlo Eugster (Master's thesis)
It was proven by Erdős, Gyárfás and Pyber, that the n vertices of a complete graph, whose edges are coloured in t colours, can be covered by f(t) many monochromatic cycles. The focus of my Master Thesis is the case where we are restricted to choose monochromatic cycles of at most s < t different colours.
The main result of my thesis is that we need at most O(n^{1/r}) many cycles, where r = 2s - t + 2, to cover all vertices if t/2 < = s < t. This result is asymptotically optimal. In case s < t/2, there exist colourings such that we need a linear (in n) amount of cycles. This talk will mainly focus on the proofs of these results. I will also shortly talk about the same problem for graphs other than the complete graph.
