Powers of paths in tournaments

Abstract

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 Girão. 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, which is best possible.
