چکیده

In this paper we exhibit infinite families of vertex critical r-dichromatic circulant tournaments for all r ≥ 3. The existence of these infinite families was conjectured by NeumannLara (7), who later proved it for all r ≥ 3 and r 6= 7. Using different methods we find explicit constructions of these infinite families for all r ≥ 3, including the case when r = 7, which complets the proof of the conjecture.

Infinite families of (n+1)-dichromatic vertex critical circulant tournaments

In this talk we expose the results about infinite families of vertex critical r-dichromatic circulant tournaments for all r ≥ 3. The existence of these infinite families was conjectured by Neumann-Lara [6], who later proved it for all r ≥ 3 and r = 7. Using different methods we find explicit constructions of these infinite families for all r ≥ 3, including the case when r = 7, which complete th...

Disproof of a Conjecture of Neumann-Lara

We disprove the following conjecture due to Vı́ctor Neumann-Lara: for every pair (r, s) of integers such that r > s > 2, there is an infinite set of circulant tournaments T such that the dichromatic number and the cyclic triangle free disconnection of T are equal to r and s, respectively. Let Fr,s denote the set of circulant tournaments T with dc(T ) = r and − →ω 3 (T ) = s. We show that for eve...

Infinite families of tight regular tournaments

In this paper, we construct infinite families of tight regular tournaments. In particular, we prove that two classes of regular tournaments, tame molds and ample tournaments are tight. We exhibit an infinite family of 3-dichromatic tight tournaments. With this family we positively answer to one case of a conjecture posed by V. Neumann-Lara. Finally, we show that any tournament with a tight mold...

The dichromatic number of infinite families of circulant tournaments

The dichromatic number dc(D) of a digraph D is defined to be the minimum number of colors such that the vertices of D can be colored in such a way that every chromatic class induces an acyclic subdigraph in D. The cyclic circulant tournament is denoted by T = −→ C 2n+1(1, 2, . . . , n), where V (T ) = Z2n+1 and for every jump j ∈ {1, 2, . . . , n} there exist the arcs (a, a+ j) for every a ∈ Z2...

Dichromatic number, circulant tournaments and Zykov sums of digraphs

The dichromatic number dc(D) of a digraph D is the smallest number of colours needed to colour the vertices of D so that no monochromatic directed cycle is created. In this paper the problem of computing the dichromatic number of a Zykov-sum of digraphs over a digraph D is reduced to that of computing a multicovering number of an hypergraph H1(D) associated to D in a natural way. This result al...
