Monochromatic cycles and monochromatic paths in arc-colored digraphs
We call the digraph D an m-colored digraph if the arcs of D are colored with m colors. A path (or a cycle) is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are colored alike. A cycle is called a quasi-monochromatic cycle if with at most one exception all of its arcs are colored alike. A subdigraph H in D is called rainbow if all its arcs have different colors. A set N ⊆ V(D) is said to be a kernel by monochromatic paths if it satisfies the following two conditions: (i) for every pair of different vertices...
