We survey some results on covering the vertices of 2-colored complete graphs by t w o paths or by t w o cycles Qf different color. W e show the role of these results i n determining path Ramsey numbers and in algorithms for finding long monochromatic paths or cycles in 2-colored complete graphs. ##

Abstract
A double Dudeney set in K~n~ is a multiset of Hamilton cycles in K~n~ having the property that each 2โpath in K~n~ lies in exactly two of the cycles. A double Dudeney set in K~n~ has been constructed when nโโฅโ4 is even. In this paper, we construct a double Dudeney set in K~n~ when nโโฅโ3 is odd. ยฉ 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Bondy conjectured that every simple bridgeless graph has a small cycle double cover (SCDC). We show that this is the case for the lexicographic products of certain graphs and along the way for the Cartesian product as well. Specifically, if __G__ does not have an isolated vertex then __
## Abstract An Orthogonal Double Cover (ODC) of the complete graph __K__~__n__~ by an almostโhamiltonian cycle is a decomposition of 2__K__~__n__~ into cycles of length __n__โ1 such that the intersection of any two of them is exactly one edge. We introduce a new class of such decompositions. If __n
## Abstract In this paper the concepts of Hamilton cycle (HC) and Hamilton path (HP) extendability are introduced. A connected graph ฮ is __n__โ__HCโextendable__ if it contains a path of length __n__ and if every such path is contained in some Hamilton cycle of ฮ. Similarly, ฮ is __weakly n__โ__HPโ
An induced path-cycle double cover (IPCDC) of a simple graph G is a family F ร {F 1 , . . . , F k } of induced paths and cycles of G such that if F i ส F j x M, then F i ส F j is a vertex or an edge, for i x j, each edge of G appears in precisely two of the F i 's, and each vertex of G appears in pr
It is shown that for any 4-regular graph G there is a collection F of paths of length 4 such that each edge of G belongs to exactly two of the paths and each vertex of G occurs exactly twice as an endvertex of a path of y. This proves a special case of a conjecture of Bondy. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons
