Abstract

An n-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete n-partite graph. If D is a strongly connected n-partite (n≥3) tournament, then we shall prove that every partite set of D has at least one vertex which lies on a cycle Cm of each length m for * such that V(C3)⊂V(C4)⊂⋯⊂V(Cn), where V(Cm) is the vertex set of Cm for *. This result extends those of Bondy [2], Guo and Volkmann [4], Gutin [6], Moon [8], and Yeo [12].
