Let K n c denote a complete graph on n vertices whose edges are colored in an arbitrary way. Let Δ mon (K n c) denote the maximum number of edges of the same color incident with a vertex of K n c. A properly colored cycle (path) in K n c is a cycle (path) in which adjacent edges have distinct colors. B. Bollobás and P. Erdös (1976) proposed the following conjecture: if Δ mon (K n c)<⌊ n 2⌋, then K n c contains a properly colored Hamiltonian cycle. Li, Wang and Zhou proved that if Δ mon (K n c)<⌊ n 2⌋, then K n c contains a properly colored cycle of length at least⌈ n+ 2 3⌉+ 1. In this paper, we improve the bound to⌈ n 2⌉+ 2.
