Generalizations of tournaments: A survey

چکیده

We survey results concerning various generalizations of tournaments. The reader will see that tournaments are by no means the only class of directed graphs with a very rich structure. We describe, among numerous other topics mostly related to paths and cycles, results on hamiltonian paths and cycles. The reader will see that although these problems are polynomially solvable for all of the classes described, they can be highly non-trivial, even for these ”tournament-like” digraphs.

Independent sets and non-augmentable paths in generalizations of tournaments

We study different classes of digraphs, which are generalizations of tournaments, to have the property of possessing a maximal independent set intersecting every non-augmentable path (in particular, every longest path). The classes are the arclocal tournament, quasi-transitive, locally in-semicomplete (out-semicomplete), and semicomplete k-partite digraphs. We present results on strongly intern...

Local Tournaments and In - Tournaments

Preface Tournaments constitute perhaps the most well-studied class of directed graphs. One of the reasons for the interest in the theory of tournaments is the monograph Topics on Tournaments [58] by Moon published in 1968, covering all results on tournaments known up to this time. In particular, three results deserve special mention: in 1934 Rédei [60] proved that every tournament has a directe...

A classification of arc-locally semicomplete digraphs

Tournaments are without doubt the best studied class of directed graphs [3, 6]. The generalizations of tournaments arise in order to extend the well-known results on tournaments to more general classes of directed graphs. Moreover, the knowledge about generalizations of tournaments has allowed to deepen our understanding of tournaments themselves. The semicomplete digraphs, the semicomplete mul...

t-Pancyclic Arcs in Tournaments

Let $T$ be a non-trivial tournament. An arc is emph{$t$-pancyclic} in $T$, if it is contained in a cycle of length $ell$ for every $tleq ell leq |V(T)|$. Let $p^t(T)$ denote the number of $t$-pancyclic arcs in $T$ and $h^t(T)$ the maximum number of $t$-pancyclic arcs contained in the same Hamiltonian cycle of $T$. Moon ({em J. Combin. Inform. System Sci.}, {bf 19} (1994), 207-214) showed that $...

Paths, Trees and Cycles in Tournaments

We survey results on paths, trees and cycles in tournaments. The main subjects are hamiltonian paths and cycles, vertex and arc disjoint paths with prescribed endvertices, arc-pancyclicity, oriented paths, trees and cycles in tournaments. Several unsolved problems are included.
