几乎正则多部竞赛图的点泛圈性

令T是多部竞赛图,i(T)=x,()|d+(x)-d-(y)|(这里允许x=y)如果i(T)=0,则T被称为是正则的;如果i(T)≤1,则T被称为是几乎正则的.Volkmann猜测几乎正则c-部竞赛图(c≥4)是泛圈的.本文证明当c≥5时,除了有限多个几乎正则多部竞赛图外,所有几乎正则c-部竞赛图都是点泛圈的.同时我们给出一个反例说明当c=4时,上述猜想不成立.     

几乎正则多部竞赛图的点泛圈性

令T是多部竞赛图;i（T）=|d+（x）-d-（y）|（这里允许x=y）,如果i（T）=0,则T被称为是正则的;如果i（T）≤1,则T被称为是几乎正则的.Volkmann猜测几乎正则c-部竞赛图（c≥4）是泛圈的.本文证明当c≥5时,除了有限多个几乎正则多部竞赛图外,所有几乎正则c-部竞赛图都是点泛圈的.同时我们给出一个反例说明当c=4时,上述猜想不成立.     

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.

二部竞赛图中的AD路与AD回路

本文证明了：若对二部竞赛图Ｔ的每一顶点ｖ，总有ｍｉｎ｛ｄＴ＾＋（ｖ），ｄＴ＾－（ｖ）｝≥ｋ≥３，则Ｔ中存在长度至少为４ｒ的ＡＤ路或ＡＤ回路，除非Ｔ同构于一类例外图之一。作为推论，我们得到：正则二部竞赛图Ｔ含有ＡＤＨ回路，除非Ｔ属于一类例外图。     

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}.     

正则多部竞赛图的控制图

设D=(vA)是一个有向图,x,y∈V(D),记O(x)是x控制的顶点的集合,如果O(x)∪O(y)∪{x,y}=V(D),则称x和y控制D.有向图D的控制图记为dom(D),它是—个无向图,顶点集是V(D),且对x,y∈V(D),xy是dom(D)的一条边当且仅当x和y控制D.1998年,Fisher等人首次提出控制图的概念,并完全刻画了竞赛图的控制图.本文研究正则多部竞赛图的控制图,并给出了—个无向图是某个正则多部竞赛图的控制图的一个刻画.     

多部竞赛图中包含某条弧的圈

多部竞赛图或n部竞赛图是指一个完全n部无向图的定向图.2007年Volkmann证明了每个强连通的n部竞赛图(n≥3)至少存在一条弧它包含在从3到n的每个长度的圈中.在此基础上给出了强连通n部竞赛图中存在一条弧它包含在从3到n+1的每个长度的圈中的一个充分条件,并举例说明该条件在某种意义上的最佳可能性.     

一类竞赛图的弧泛回路

Alspach证明了正则竞赛图具有弧泛回路的性质。本文将指出有更大一类竞赛图也具有弧泛回路的性质。并且正则竞赛图也显然属于这一类竞赛图。这类竞赛图满足两个条件:弧三回路和|T|≤4k-3(k为竞赛图T的最小出、入度)。     

Hamiltonian二部竞赛图

设 T(n,n)表示 n×n 二部竞赛图。本文证明了:如果 uv 是 T(n,n)的一条弧,蕴含d~-(u) d~ (v)≥n-2≥4,则 T(n,n)是 Hamilton 图,除非 T(n,n)属于两类已被刻划的特殊图类。     

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.

Sufficient Conditions for a Digraph to be Supereulerian

A (di)graph is supereulerian if it contains a spanning eulerian sub(di)graph. This property is a relaxation of hamiltonicity. Inspired by this analogy with hamiltonian cycles and by similar results in supereulerian graph theory, we analyze a number of sufficient Ore type conditions for a digraph to be supereulerian. Furthermore, we study the following conjecture due to Thomassé and the first author: if the arc‐connectivity of a digraph is not smaller than its independence number, then the digraph is supereulerian. As a support for this conjecture we prove it for digraphs that are semicomplete multipartite or quasitransitive and verify the analogous statement for undirected graphs.     

Orientably-regular embeddings of a class of multipartite graphs

The orientably-regular embeddings of complete multipartite graphs have been determined by the contributions of several papers. After that, a natural question can be asked: How about the regular embeddings of the multipartite graphs with m parts, while each part contains n vertices(not necessarily complete multipartite). In this paper, we classify all the orientably-regular embeddings of these graphs when m is a prime q and n is a prime power pe.     

Every cycle-connected multipartite tournament has a universal arc

A digraph D is cycle-connected if for every pair of vertices u,v∈V(D) there exists a directed cycle in D containing both u and v. In 1999, Ádám [A. Ádám, On some cyclic connectivity properties of directed graphs, Acta Cybernet. 14 (1) (1999) 1-12] posed the following problem. Let D be a cycle-connected digraph. Does there exist a universal arc in D, i.e., an arc e∈A(D) such that for every vertex w∈V(D) there is a directed cycle in D containing both e and w?A c-partite or multipartite tournament is an orientation of a complete c-partite graph. Recently, Hubenko [A. Hubenko, On a cyclic connectivity property of directed graphs, Discrete Math. 308 (2008) 1018-1024] proved that each cycle-connected bipartite tournament has a universal arc. As an extension of this result, we show in this note that each cycle-connected multipartite tournament has a universal arc.     

On Arc-Regular Permutation Groups Using Latin Squares

For a given a permutation group G, the problem of determining which regular digraphs admit G as an arc-regular group of automorphism is considered. Groups which admit such a representation can be characterized in terms of generating sets satisfying certain properties, and a procedure to manufacture such groups is presented. The technique is based on constructing appropriate factorizations of (smaller) regular line digraphs by means of Latin squares. Using this approach, all possible representations of transitive groups of degree up to seven as arc-regular groups of digraphs of some degree is presented.Partially supported by the Comissionat per a Universitats i Recerca of the Generalitat de Catalunya under Grant 1997FI-693, and through a European Community Marie Curie Fellowship under contract HPMF-CT-2001-01211.

4p阶二面体群连通3度Cayley有向图的正规性

设G是一个有限群,S是G的不包含单位元1的非空子集,定义群G关于S的Cayley(有向)图X:=Cay(G,S)如下:V(X)=G,E(X)={(g,sg)|g∈G,s∈S}.Cayley(有向)图X:=Cay(G,S)称为正规的,如果G的右正则表示R(G)在X的自同构群Aut(X)中是正规的.设G是4p阶二面体群(p为素数).考察了Cay(G,S)连通3度的正规性,并给出了这些图的全自同构群.     

A Family of Nonnormal Cayley Digraphs

We call a Cayley digraph Γ = Cay(G, S) normal for G if G _R , the right regular representation of G, is a normal subgroup of the full automorphism group Aut(Γ) of Γ. In this paper we determine the normality of Cayley digraphs of valency 2 on nonabelian groups of order 2p ² (p odd prime). As a result, a family of nonnormal Cayley digraphs is found.

Solution of a Conjecture of Volkmann on the Number of Vertices in Longest Paths and Cycles of Strong Semicomplete Multipartite Digraphs

 A digraph obtained by replacing each edge of a complete multipartite graph by an arc or a pair of mutually opposite arcs with the same end vertices is called a semicomplete multipartite digraph. L. Volkmann conjectured that l≤2c−1, where l (c, respectively) is the number of vertices in a longest path (longest cycle) of a strong semicomplete multipartite digraph. The bound on l is sharp. We settle this conjecture in affirmative. Received: October 26, 1998?Final version received: August 16, 1999
