We prove that every tournament T with no three disjoint cycles contains a set X of at most four vertices such that T −X is acyclic.

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 $...
متن کاملTwo-Path Convexity and Bipartite Tournaments of Small Rank
We study two-path convexity in bipartite tournaments. For a bipartite tournament, we obtain both a necessary condition and a sufficient condition on the adjacency matrix for its rank to be two. We then investigate 4-cycles in bipartite tournaments of small rank. We show that every vertex in a bipartite tournament of rank two lies on a four cycle, and bipartite tournaments with a maximum number ...
متن کاملMultipartite tournaments with small number of cycles
L. Volkmann, Discrete Math. 245 (2002) 19-53 posed the following question. Let 4 ≤ m ≤ n. Are there strong n-partite tournaments, which are not themselves tournaments, with exactly n − m + 1 cycles of length m? We answer this question in affirmative. We raise the following problem. Given m ∈ {3, 4, . . . , n}, find a characterization of strong n-partite tournaments having exactly n −m + 1 cycle...
متن کاملOn n-partite Tournaments with Unique n-cycle
An n-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete n-partite graph. An npartite tournament is a tournament, if it contains exactly one vertex in each partite set. Douglas, Proc. London Math. Soc. 21 (1970) 716-730, obtained a characterization of strongly connected tournaments with exactly one Hamilton cycle (i.e., n-cycle). For n ≥, we characterize strongly connected n-partite tournaments ...
متن کاملA study of Nilpotent groups through right transversals
In group theory nilpotency of a group has a great importance. In this paper we have studied some concept of nilpotency through right transversals. We have also studied prime power groups and frattini subgroups through right transversals.
