正圆有向图中的弧不相交的Hamilton路和圈

2012年,Bang-Jensen和Huang(J.Combin.Theory Ser.B.2012,102:701-714)证明了2-弧强的局部半完全有向图可以分解为两个弧不相交的强连通生成子图当且仅当D不是偶圈的二次幂,并提出了任意3-强的局部竞赛图中包含两个弧不相交的Hamilton圈的猜想.主要研究正圆有向图中的弧不相交的Hamilton路和Hamilton圈,并证明了任意3-弧强的正圆有向图中包含两个弧不相交的Hamilton圈和任意4-弧强的正圆有向图中包含一个Hamilton圈和两个Hamilton路,使得它们两两弧不相交.由于任意圆有向图一定是正圆有向图,所得结论可以推广到圆有向图中.又由于圆有向图是局部竞赛图的子图类,因此所得结论说明对局部竞赛图的子图类――圆有向图,Bang-Jensen和Huang的猜想成立.     

正则多部竞赛图中任意弧的所有长度的外路

多部竞赛图D中弧x_1x_2的一条(l-1)一外路是指起始于x_1x_2的长为l-1的路x_1x_2…x_1,其中要么x_1与x_1同部,要么x_1控制x_1.特别地,当l=|V(D)|且x_1控制x_1时,x_1x_2…x_lx_1是一个通过弧x_1x_2的Hamilton.Guo(Discrete Appl.Math.95(1999)273-277)证明了一个正则c-部(c≥3)竞赛图中的每条弧都有一个(k-1)-外路,其中k∈{3,4,…,c}.作为一个推广,该文证明了一个正则c-部(c≥5)竞赛图中的每条弧都有一个(k-1)-外路,其中k∈{3,4,…,|V(D)|}.进一步,使用路收缩技巧,下面一个结果也被证明:D是一个正则c-部(c≥8)竞赛图,且每个部集包含两个顶点,则D的每条弧被包含在一个Hamilton圈中.这个结果部分地支持了Volkmann和Yeo(Discrete Math.281(2004)267-276)提出的猜想:正则多部竞赛图的每条孤都包含在一个Hamilton圈中.

标准多重二部图中点不交的重4圈

若多重二部图中不同划分的任意一对点之间至多包含两条边,则称其为标准多重二部图.令D是一个标准多重二部图,使得|V_1|=|V_2|=n≥2,其中n是正整数.我们证明了若D的最小度至少是3/2n,则D一定包含■个点不交的4圈,并且当n为奇数时,上述■个4圈中的前n-3/2中的每条边都是重边,剩余的一个4圈中至少有3条边是重边;当n为偶数时,前n-4/2个4圈的每条边都是重边:剩余的两个4圈中每个至少有3条边是重边,除非有一个例外.     

几乎正则多部竞赛图中弧的外路

Guo(Discrete Appl.Math.95(1999)273-277)提出外路的概念.有向图中一个顶点x(或弧xy)的一条外路是指起始于x(或弧xy)的一条路使得x控制这条路的终点仅当终点也控制x.一条长为k的外路称为k-外路.本文证明了一个几乎正则c-部(c≥8)竞赛图D中,如果D的每个部集至少包含两个点,则D中每条弧有(k-1)-或k-外路,其中k∈{3,4,…,|V(D)|-1}.进一步,当D是一个几乎正则c-部(c≥8)竞赛图,且每个部集所含顶点数目相同时,D的每条弧在k-或(k+1)-圈中,其中k∈{3,4,…,|V(D)|-1}.     

准传递定向图上的Seymour点

有向图D是准传递的,如果对D中任意三个不同的顶点x, y和z,只要在D中存在弧xy, yz, x和z之间就至少存在一条弧. Seymour二次邻域猜想为:在任何一个定向图D中都存在一个顶点x,满足d_D~+(x)d_D~(++)(x).这里,定向图是指没有2圈的有向图.称满足Seymour二次邻域猜想的点为Seymour点. Fisher证明了Seymour二次邻域猜想适用于竞赛图,也就是每个竞赛图至少包含一个Seymour点. Havet和Thomassé证明了,无出度为零的点的竞赛图至少包含两个Seymour点.注意到,竞赛图是准传递有向图的子图类.研究Seymour二次邻域猜想在准传递定向图上的正确性,通过研究准传递定向图与扩张竞赛图的Seymour点之间的关系,证明了准传递定向图上Seymour二次邻域猜想的正确性,得到:每个准传递定向图至少包含一个Seymour点;无出度为零的点的准传递定向图至少包含两个Seymour点.     

强定向图的k-强距离

对强连通有向图D的一个非空顶点子集S,D中包含S的具有最少弧数的强连通有向子图称为S的Steiner子图,S的强Steiner距离d(S)等于S的Steiner子图的弧数. 如果|S|=k, 那么d(S)称为S的k-强距离. 对整数k≥2和强有向图D的顶点v,v的k-强离心率sek(v)为D中所有包含v的k个顶点的子集的k-强距离的最大值. D中顶点的最小k-强离心率称为D的k-强半径,记为sradk(D),最大k-强离心率称为D的k-强直径,记为sdiamk(D). 本文证明了,对于满足k+1≤r,d≤n的任意整数r,d,存在顶点数为n的强竞赛图T′和T″,使得sradk(T′)=r和sdiamk(T″)=d;进而给出了强定向图的k-强直径的一个上界.     

强连通竞赛图的圈分解

The cycle structure of regular multipartite tournaments

A multipartite tournament is an orientation of a complete multipartite graph. A tournament is a multipartite tournament, each partite set of which contains exactly one vertex. Alspach (Canad. Math. Bull. 10 (1967) 283) proved that every regular tournament is arc-pancyclic. Although all partite sets of a regular multipartite tournament have the same cardinality, Alspach's theorem is not valid for regular multipartite tournaments. In this paper, we prove that if the cardinality common to all partite sets of a regular n-partite (n3) tournament T is odd, then every arc of T is in a cycle that contains vertices from exactly m partite sets for all m{3,4,…,n}. This result extends Alspach's theorem for regular tournaments to regular multipartite tournaments. We also examine the structure of cycles through arcs in regular multipartite tournaments.     

The structure of 4‐strong tournaments containing exactly three out‐arc pancyclic vertices

Yao et al. (Discrete Appl Math 99 (2000), 245–249) proved that every strong tournament contains a vertex u such that every out‐arc of u is pancyclic and conjectured that every k‐strong tournament contains k such vertices. At present, it is known that this conjecture is true for k = 1, 2, 3 and not true for k?4. In this article, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for a 4‐strong tournament to contain exactly three out‐arc pancyclic vertices, which shows that a 4‐strong tournament contains at least four out‐arc pancyclic vertices except for a given class of tournaments. Furthermore, our proof yields a polynomial algorithm to decide if a 4‐strong tournament has exactly three out‐arc pancyclic vertices.     

On cycles in regular 3-partite tournaments

The vertex set of a digraph D is denoted by V(D). A c-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete c-partite graph. In 1991, Jian-zhong Wang conjectured that every arc of a regular 3-partite tournament D is contained in directed cycles of all lengths 3,6,9,…,|V(D)|. This conjecture is not valid, because for each integer t with 3?t?|V(D)|, there exists an infinite family of regular 3-partite tournaments D such that at least one arc of D is not contained in a directed cycle of length t.In this paper, we prove that every arc of a regular 3-partite tournament with at least nine vertices is contained in a directed cycle of length m, m+1, or m+2 for 3?m?5, and we conjecture that every arc of a regular 3-partite tournament is contained in a directed cycle of length m, (m+1), or (m+2) for each m∈{3,4,…,|V(D)|-2}.It is known that every regular 3-partite tournament D with at least six vertices contains directed cycles of lengths 3, |V(D)|-3, and |V(D)|. We show that every regular 3-partite tournament D with at least six vertices also has a directed cycle of length 6, and we conjecture that each such 3-partite tournament contains cycles of all lengths 3,6,9,…,|V(D)|.     

The Number of Out-Pancyclic Vertices in a Strong Tournament

An arc in a tournament T with n ≥ 3 vertices is called pancyclic, if it belongs to a cycle of length l for all 3 ≤ l ≤ n. We call a vertex u of T an out-pancyclic vertex of T, if each out-arc of u is pancyclic in T. Yao et al. (Discrete Appl. Math. 99, 245–249, 2000) proved that every strong tournament contains an out-pancyclic vertex. For strong tournaments with minimum out-degree 1, Yao et al. found an infinite class of strong tournaments, each of which contains exactly one out-pancyclic vertex. In this paper, we prove that every strong tournament with minimum out-degree at least 2 contains three out-pancyclic vertices. Our result is best possible since there is an infinite family of strong tournaments with minimum degree at least 2 and no more than 3 out-pancyclic vertices.

On arc-traceable local tournaments

A digraph D is arc-traceable if for every arc xy of D, the arc xy belongs to a directed Hamiltonian path of D. A local tournament is an oriented graph such that the negative neighborhood as well as the positive neighborhood of every vertex induces a tournament. It is well known that every tournament contains a directed Hamiltonian path and, in 1990, Bang-Jensen showed the same for connected local tournaments. In 2006, Busch, Jacobson and Reid studied the structure of tournaments that are not arc-traceable and consequently gave various sufficient conditions for tournaments to be arc-traceable. Inspired by the article of Busch, Jacobson and Reid, we develop in this paper the structure necessary for a local tournament to be not arc-traceable. Using this structure, we give sufficient conditions for a local tournament to be arc-traceable and we present examples showing that these conditions are best possible.     

均衡二部图中含2k条指定边的k个独立圈及2-因子

得到了对于二部图G=(V_1,V_2;E),当|V_1|=|V_2|=n≥2k+1时的结果:对G中任意2k条独立边e_1,e_1~*,…,e_k,e_k~*,G中一定存在k个独立的4-圈C_1,C_2,…,C_k,使得对任意i∈{1,2,…,k}有{e_i,e_i~*}E(C_i).并在此基础上进一步证明了当|V_1|=|V_2|=n≥3k时若对任意两顶点x∈V_1,y∈V_2,都有d(x)+d(y)≥2n-k+1成立,则G有一个2-因子含有k+1个独立圈C_1,C_2,…,C_(k+1)使得对任意i∈{1,2,…,k}有{e_i,e_i~*}E(C_i)且|C_i|=4.
