Abstract

Havet and Thomassé proved that every tournament of order n≥ 8 contains every oriented Hamiltonian path, which was conjectured by Rosenfeld. Recently, it was shown that in any tournament T of order n≥ 8, there exists an arc e such that T-e contains any oriented Hamiltonian path. A natural extension of this problem is to study the stability of this property under arbitrary arc deletion. In this paper, we prove that every arc e in a tournament T of order n≥ 8 satisfies that T-e contains every oriented Hamiltonian path, except for some explicitly described exceptions.
