On a rainbow version of Dirac's theorem (1910.01281v3)
Published 3 Oct 2019 in math.CO
Abstract: For a collection $\mathbf{G}={G_1,\dots, G_s}$ of not necessarily distinct graphs on the same vertex set $V$, a graph $H$ with vertices in $V$ is a $\mathbf{G}$-transversal if there exists a bijection $\phi:E(H)\rightarrow [s]$ such that $e\in E(G_{\phi(e)})$ for all $e\in E(H)$. We prove that for $|V|=s\geq 3$ and $\delta(G_i)\geq s/2$ for each $i\in [s]$, there exists a $\mathbf{G}$-transversal that is a Hamilton cycle. This confirms a conjecture of Aharoni. We also prove an analogous result for perfect matchings.
