Hamilton decompositions of regular tournaments

Abstract

We show that every sufficiently large regular tournament can almost completely be decomposed into edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. More precisely, for each η>0 every regular tournament G of sufficiently large order n contains at least (1/2-η)n edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. This gives an approximate solution to a conjecture of Kelly from 1968. Our result also extends to almost regular tournaments.
