  Abstract:
It has been conjectured that for any fixed r and sufficiently large n, there is a monochromatic Hamiltonian Berge-cycle in every (r − 1)-coloring of the edges of Krn, the complete r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices. In this paper, we show that the statement of this conjecture is true with r − 2 colors (instead of r − 1 colors) by showing that there is a monochromatic Hamiltonian t-tight Berge-cycle in every ⌊ r−2 t−1 ⌋-edge-coloring of Krn for any fixed r > t ≥ 2 and sufficiently large n. Also, we give a proof for this conjecture when r = 4 (the first open case). These results improve the previously known results in Dorbec et al. (2008) and Gyárfás et al. (2008, 2010).
