竞赛图传递着色的控制

Domination in transitive colorings of tournaments

Dömötör Pálvölgyi, András Gyárfás

摘要:

如果由颜色$i$的边定义的有向图$T(i)$对于每个$1\le i \le k$都是传递定向的,则将带有颜色$1,2,\dots,k$的竞赛图$T$的边染色称为\it $k$ -传递\rm.我们探讨了第二作者的一个猜想:对于每个正整数$k$,存在一个(最少)$p(k)$,使得每个$k$ -传递竞赛图有至多$p(k)$顶点的控制集.我们展示了这个猜想如何与其他的猜想和结果。例如,它是一个特殊的情况下,一个著名的猜想Erd \H os,桑兹,绍尔和伍德罗(所以猜想是有趣的,即使假)。我们证明了这个猜想蕴含着一个更强的猜想,它是Bárány和Lehel关于用盒子覆盖点集的一个结果的可能的推广。所使用的原理还导致$d$维箱盖数的上界$O(2^{2^{d-1}}d\log d)$,其在某种意义上接近最佳可能,优于所有先前的界。我们还提高了已知的最佳界在三维从$3^{14}$到64,并提出可能的进一步改进,通过寻找最大的优势数奇偶竞赛。

英文摘要:

An edge coloring of a tournament $T$ with colors $1,2,\dots,k$ is called \it $k$-transitive \rm if the digraph $T(i)$ defined by the edges of color $i$ is transitively oriented for each $1\le i \le k$. We explore a conjecture of the second author: For each positive integer $k$ there exists a (least) $p(k)$ such that every $k$-transitive tournament has a dominating set of at most $p(k)$ vertices. We show how this conjecture relates to other conjectures and results. For example, it is a special case of a well-known conjecture of Erd\H os, Sands, Sauer and Woodrow (so the conjecture is interesting even if false). We show that the conjecture implies a stronger conjecture, a possible extension of a result of Bárány and Lehel on covering point sets by boxes. The principle used leads also to an upper bound $O(2^{2^{d-1}}d\log d)$ on the $d$-dimensional box-cover number that is better than all previous bounds, in a sense close to best possible. We also improve the best bound known in 3-dimensions from $3^{14}$ to 64 and propose possible further improvements through finding the maximum domination number over parity tournaments.
