Abstract A k$k$‐uniform hypergraph M$M$ is set‐homogeneous if it is countable (possibly finite) and whenever two finite induced subhypergraphs U,V$U,V$ are isomorphic there is g∈Aut(M)$g\in \mathop {\rm Aut}\nolimits (M)$ with Ug=V$U^g=V$; the hypergraph M$M$ is said to be homogeneous if in addition every isomorphism between finite induced ...

Complementary cycles of any length in regular bipartite tournaments
Abstract Let D $D$ be a k $k$‐regular bipartite tournament on n $n$ vertices. We show that, for every p $p$ with 2≤p≤n∕2−2 $2\le p\le n\unicode{x02215}2-2$, D $D$ has a cycle C $C$ of length 2p $2p$ such that D\C $D\backslash C$ is Hamiltonian unless D $D$ is isomorphic to the special digraph F4k ${F}_{4k}$.

On coloring digraphs with forbidden induced subgraphs
Abstract We prove a conjecture by Aboulker, Charbit, and Naserasr by showing that every oriented graph in which the out‐neighborhood of every vertex induces a transitive tournament can be partitioned into two acyclic induced subdigraphs. We prove multiple extensions of this result to larger classes of digraphs defined by a finite list of forbidden ...

Making a tournament k $k$‐strong
Abstract A digraph is k ${\bf{k}}$‐strong if it has n ≥ k + 1 $n\ge k+1$ vertices and every induced subdigraph on at least n − k + 1 $n-k+1$ vertices is strongly connected. A tournament is a digraph with no pair of nonadjacent vertices. We prove that every tournament on n ≥ k + 1 $n\ge k+1$ vertices can be made k $k$‐strong by adding no more than k ...

Spanning eulerian subdigraphs in semicomplete digraphs
Abstract A digraph is eulerian if it is connected and every vertex has its in‐degree equal to its out‐degree. Having a spanning eulerian subdigraph is thus a weakening of having a hamiltonian cycle. In this paper, we first characterize the pairs (D,a) $(D,a)$ of a semicomplete digraph D $D$ and an arc a $a$ such that D $D$ has a spanning eulerian ...

Path decompositions of tournaments
Abstract In 1976, Alspach, Mason, and Pullman conjectured that any tournament T$T$ of even order can be decomposed into exactly ex(T)$\operatorname{ex}(T)$ paths, where ex(T)≔12∑v∈V(T)|dT+(v)−dT−(v)|$\operatorname{ex}(T)\coloneqq \frac{1}{2}\sum _{v\in V(T)}|d_T^+(v)-d_T^-(v)|$. We prove this conjecture for all sufficiently large tournaments.

Seymour’s Second Neighborhood Conjecture for m‐Free Oriented Graphs
Let (D = (V, E)) be an oriented graph with minimum out‐degree δ+. For x ∈ V(D), let dD+x and dD++x be the out‐degree and second out‐degree of x in D, respectively. For a directed graph D, we say that a vertex x ∈ V(D) is a Seymour vertex if dD++x≥dD+x. Seymour in 1990 conjectured that each oriented graph has a Seymour vertex.

Universe as a Graph (Ramsey Approach to Analysis of Physical Systems)
Ramsey theory is implemented to the analysis of physical systems. Physical interactions may be very generally classified as attractive and repulsive. This classification creates the premises for the application of the Ramsey theory to the analysis of ...

On the infinite Lucchesi–Younger conjecture I
Abstract A dicut in a directed graph is a cut for which all of its edges are directed to a common side of the cut. A famous theorem of Lucchesi and Younger states that in every finite digraph the least size of an edge set meeting every dicut equals the maximum number of disjoint dicuts in that digraph. In this first paper out of a series of two papers,
