Powers of paths in tournaments


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In this short note we prove that every tournament contains the $k$-th power of a directed path of linear length. This improves upon recent results of Yuster and of Gir~ao. We also give a complete solution for this problem when $k=2$, showing that there is always a square of a directed path of length $lceil 2n/3 rceil-1$, which is best possible.
