Independent transversals of longest paths in locally semicomplete and locally transitive digraphs

چکیده
We present several results concerning the Laborde-Payan-Xuang conjecture stating that in every digraph there exists an independent set of vertices intersecting every longest path. The digraphs we consider are defined in terms of local semicompleteness and local transitivity. We also look at oriented graphs for which the length of a longest path does not exceed 4.

Paths and cycles in extended and decomposable digraphs,
We consider digraphs – called extended locally semicomplete digraphs, or extended LSD’s, for short – that can be obtained from locally semicomplete digraphs by substituting independent sets for vertices. We characterize Hamiltonian extended LSD’s as well as extended LSD’s containing Hamiltonian paths. These results as well as some additional ones imply polynomial algorithms for finding a longes...
متن کاملIndependent 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...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملThe Path Partition Conjecture is true in generalizations of tournaments
The Path Partition Conjecture for digraphs states that for every digraph D, and every choice of positive integers λ1, λ2 such that λ1 + λ2 equals the order of a longest directed path in D, there exists a partition of D in two subdigraphs D1,D2 such that the order of the longest path in Di is at most λi for i = 1, 2. We present sufficient conditions for a digraph to satisfy the Path Partition Co...
متن کاملArc-Disjoint Paths in Decomposable Digraphs
4 We prove that the weak k-linkage problem is polynomial for every fixed k for totally Φ5 decomposable digraphs, under appropriate hypothesis on Φ. We then apply this and recent results 6 by Fradkin and Seymour (on the weak k-linkage problem for digraphs of bounded independence 7 number or bounded cut-width) to get polynomial algorithms for some class of digraphs like quasi8 transitive digraphs...
