Abstract

Improving a result of Erdos, Gyarfas and Pyber for large n we show that for every integer r=2 there exists a constant n"0=n"0(r) such that if n=n"0 and the edges of the complete graph K"n are colored with r colors then the vertex set of K"n can be partitioned into at most 100rlogr vertex disjoint monochromatic cycles.
