We present an O n algorithm for finding a specified oriented path of order at Ž 2 . least n in a tournament of order n. Using this algorithm, we present an O n algorithm that finds a specified oriented path from a given vertex if one exists.

## Abstract We characterize the family of hamiltonian tournaments with the least number of 3‐cycles, studying their structure and their score sequence. Furthermore, we obtain the number of nonisomorphic tournaments of this family.
We prove that with three exceptions, every tournament of order n contains each oriented path of order n. The exceptions are the antidirected paths in the 3-cycle, in the regular tournament on 5 vertices, and in the Paley tournament on 7 vertices. ## 2000 Academic Press Tournaments are very rich st
We prove that, with some exceptions, every digraph with n 3 9 vertices and at least ( n -1) ( n -2) + 2 arcs contains all orientations of a Hamiltonian cycle.
