Proper Hamiltonian Paths in Edge-Coloured Multigraphs

Abstract: Given a $c$-edge-coloured multigraph, a proper Hamiltonian path is a path that contains all the vertices of the multigraph such that no two adjacent edges have the same colour. In this work we establish sufficient conditions for an edge-coloured multigraph to guarantee the existence of a proper Hamiltonian path, involving various parameters as the number of edges, the number of colours, the rainbow degree and the connectivity.
