✦ Synopsis


We survey results concerning various generalizations of tournaments.

The reader will see that tournaments are by no means the only class of directed graphs with a very rich structure. We describe, among numerous other topics mostly related to paths and cycles, results on hamiltonian paths and cycles. The reader will see that although these problems are polynomially solvable for all of the classes described, they can be highly nontrivial, even for these ''tournament-like'' digraphs.

We call a tournament unique, if there is no other tournament (barring isomorphic ones) which shares the same score vector. In this note, we provide a simple characterization of such unique tournaments. ## 1998 Academic Press Theorem 1. There are exactly four (basic) strong tournaments in Unique (s

Semiorders may form the simplest class of partially ordered sets that accommodate thresholds of discriminability in binary comparisons. Many other classes of ordered sets that generalize the uniform-threshold feature of semiorders have been studied in recent years. This note describes a variety of g

## Abstract Seymour's Second Neighborhood Conjecture asserts that every digraph (without digons) has a vertex whose first out‐neighborhood is at most as large as its second out‐neighborhood. We prove its weighted version for tournaments missing a generalized star. As a consequence the weighted vers
