We characterize those bipartite tournaments which have a hamiltonian path with given unordered endvertices. Our proof gives rise to a polynomial algorithm to decide the existence of such a path and find one, if it exists. (C) 1995 Academic Press. Inc.

✦ Synopsis
We characterize weakly Hamiltonian-connected ordinary multipartite tournaments. Our result generalizes such a characterization for tournaments by Thomassen and implies a polynomial algorithm to decide the existence ofa Hamiltonian path connecting two given vertices in an ordinary multipartite tournament and finds one, if it exists.

A multipartite or c-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete c-partite graph. In this note we prove that a strongly connected c-partite tournament with c ≥ 3 contains an arc that belongs to a directed cycle of length m for every m ∈ {3, 4, . . . , c}.
