A note on the number of Hamiltonian paths in strong tournaments
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 13 (2006)
We prove that the minimum number of distinct hamiltonian paths in a strong tournament of order $n$ is $5^{{n-1}\over{3}}$. A known construction shows this number is best possible when $n \equiv 1 \hbox{ mod } 3$ and gives similar minimal values for $n$ congruent to $0$ and $2$ modulo $3$.
