چکیده

In this paper we establish a dichotomy theorem for the complexity of homomorphisms to fixed locally semicomplete digraphs. It is also shown that the same dichotomy holds for list homomorphisms. The polynomial algorithms follow from a different, shorter proof of a result by Gutjahr, Welzl and Woeginger.

Out-colourings of Digraphs

We study vertex colourings of digraphs so that no out-neighbourhood is monochromatic and call such a colouring an out-colouring. The problem of deciding whether a given digraph has an out-colouring with only two colours (called a 2-out-colouring) is NP-complete. We show that for every choice of positive integers r, k there exists a k-strong bipartite tournament which needs at least r colours in...

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...

A classification of locally semicomplete digraphs

In [19] Huang gave a characterization of local tournaments. His characterization involves arc-reversals and therefore may not be easily used to solve other structural problems on locally semicomplete digraphs (where one deals with a fixed locally semicomplete digraph). In this paper we derive a classification of locally semicomplete digraphs which is very useful for studying structural properti...

LOCALLY SEMICOMPLETE DIGRAPHS WITH A FACTOR COMPOSED OF k CYCLES

A digraph is locally semicomplete if for every vertex x, the set of in-neighbors as well as the set of out-neighbors of x induce semicomplete digraphs. Let D be a k-connected locally semicomplete digraph with k ≥ 3 and g denote the length of a longest induced cycle of D. It is shown that if D has at least 7(k− 1)g vertices, then D has a factor composed of k cycles; furthermore, if D is semicomp...

Efficient total domination in digraphs

We generalize the concept of efficient total domination from graphs to digraphs. An efficiently total dominating set X of a digraph D is a vertex subset such that every vertex of D has exactly one predecessor in X . We study graphs that permit an orientation having such a set and give complexity results and characterizations concerning this question. Furthermore, we study the computational comp...
