Abstract

An arc in a tournament T with n ≥ 3 vertices is called pancyclic, if it is in a cycle of length k for all 3 ≤ k ≤ n. Yeo (Journal of Graph Theory, 50 (2005), 212–219) proved that every 3-strong tournament contains two distinct vertices whose all out-arcs are pancyclic, and conjectured that each 2-strong tournament contains 3 such vertices. In this paper, we confirm Yeo’s conjecture for 3-strong tournaments.
