✦ Synopsis
A relational structure A satisfies the P(n, k) property if whenever the vertex set of A is partitioned into n nonempty parts, the substructure induced by the union of some k of the parts is isomorphic to A. The P(2, 1) property is just the pigeonhole property, (P), introduced by Cameron, and studied by Bonato, Delić and Cameron. We classify the countable graphs, tournaments, and oriented graphs with the P(3, 2) property.

## Abstract Let __D__ be an oriented graph of order __n__ ≧ 9 and minimum degree __n__ − 2. This paper proves that __D__ is pancyclic if for any two vertices __u__ and __v__, either __uv__ ≅ __A(D)__, or __d__~__D__~^+^(__u__) + __d__~__D__~^−^(__v__) ≧ __n__ − 3.
The acyclic orientations of a graph are related to its chromatic polynomial, to its reliability, and to certain hyperplane arrangements. In this paper, an algorithm for listing the acyclic orientations of a graph is presented. The algorithm is shown to Ž . require O n time per acyclic orientation ge
## Abstract A hereditary property of combinatorial structures is a collection of structures (e.g., graphs, posets) which is closed under isomorphism, closed under taking induced substructures (e.g., induced subgraphs), and contains arbitrarily large structures. Given a property $\cal {P}$, we write
A 2-assignment on a graph G (V,E) is a collection of pairs Lv of allowed colors speci®ed for all vertices v PV. The graph G (with at least one edge) is said to have oriented choice number 2 if it admits an orientation which satis®es the following property: For every 2-assignment there exists a choic
## Abstract We extend Landau's concept of the score structure of a tournament to that of the score sequence of an oriented graph, and give a condition for an arbitrary integer sequence to be a score sequence. The proof is by construction of a specific oriented graph Δ(__S__) with given score sequen
