TLDR
It is proved that there exists n0, such that, for every n≥n0 and every 2-colouring of the edges of the complete graph Kn, one can find two vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles of different colours which cover all vertices of Kn.
Abstract
We prove that there exists n0, such that, for every n≥n0 and every 2-colouring of the edges of the complete graph Kn, one can find two vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles of different colours which cover all vertices of Kn.

The Regularity Lemma and Its Applications in Graph Theory

TL;DR: The present survey is a continuation of the earlier survey, and repeats (sometimes in a shortened form) parts of the first survey, but the emphasis is on new results.

Monochromatic and Heterochromatic Subgraphs in Edge-Colored Graphs - A Survey

TL;DR: This paper surveys results on monochromatic and heterochromatics of an edge-colored graph and classifies the results into the following categories: vertex-partitions by monochrome subgraphs, such as cycles, paths, trees.

Partitioning edge-coloured complete graphs into monochromatic cycles and paths

TL;DR: It is shown that in any edge-colouring of a complete graph with three colours, it is possible to cover all the vertices with three vertex-disjoint monochromatic paths, proving a particular case of a conjecture due to Gyarfas.

An improved bound for the monochromatic cycle partition number

TL;DR: Improving a result of Erdos, Gyarfas and Pyber for large n, it is shown that for every integer r>=2 there exists a constant n"0=n"0(r) such that if n>=n"-0 and the edges of the complete graph K"n are colored with r colors then the vertex set of K" n can be partitioned into at most 100rlogr vertex disjoint monochromatic cycles.

Partitioning a graph into a cycle and an anticycle, a proof of Lehel's conjecture

TL;DR: It is proved that every graph G has a vertex partition into a cycle and an anticycle (a cycle in the complement of G) and this problem was posed by Lehel and shown to be true for very large graphs by Luczak, Rodl and Szemeredi.

Regular partitions of graphs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize this result to arbitrary graphs, at the same time strengthening and simplifying the original bipartite result and showing that k-term arithmetic progression-free sets of integers must have density zero.

Vertex coverings by monochromatic paths and cycles

TL;DR: The role of results on covering the vertices of 2-colored complete graphs by two paths or by two cycles of different color in determining path Ramsey numbers and in algorithms for finding long monochromatic paths or cycles in 2- colored complete graphs is shown.
