On n-partite Tournaments with Unique n-cycle

摘要

An n-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete n-partite graph. An n-partite tournament is a tournament, if it contains exactly one vertex in each partite set. Douglas, Proc. London Math. Soc. 21 (1970) 716–730, obtained a characterization of strongly connected tournaments with exactly one Hamilton cycle (i.e., n-cycle). For n≥3, we characterize strongly connected n-partite tournaments that are not tournaments with exactly one n-cycle. For n≥5, we enumerate such non-isomorphic n-partite tournaments.
