Title
Hamiltonicity of digraphs for universal cycles of permutations
Abstract
The digraphs P(n, k) have vertices corresponding to length k permutations of an n set and arcs corresponding to (k + 1) permutations. Answering a question of Starling, Klerlein, Kier and Carr we show that these digraphs are Hamiltonian for k ≤ n - 3. We do this using restricted Eulerian cycles and the fact that P(n, k) is nearly the line digraph of P(n, k - 1). We also show that the digraphs P(n, n - 2) are not Hamiltonian for n ≥ 4 using a result of Rankin on Cayley digraphs.
