β¦ Synopsis
The dichromatic number k(D) of a digraph D is the minimum number of acyclic sets in which V(D) can be partitioned. If de(D) = Y, D is said r-dichromatic. In this paper it is proved that the minimum order of a 3-dichromatic (resp. 4-dichromatic) tournament is 7 (resp. 11). It is also proved that there are exactly four nonisomorphic 3-dichromatic tournaments of order 7 and a unique 4-dichromatic tournament of order 11. All these tournaments are characterized.

A 3-uniform hypergraph is called a minimum 3-tree, if for any 3coloring of its vertex set there is a heterochromatic edge and the hypergraph has the minimum possible number of edges. Here we show that the number of edges in such 3-tree is for any number of vertices n β‘ 3, 4 (mod 6).
## Abstract An RTD[5,Ξ»; __v__] is a decomposition of the complete symmetric directed multigraph, denoted by Ξ»K, into regular tournaments of order 5. In this article we show that an RTD[5,Ξ»; __v__] exists if and only if (__v__β1)Ξ» β‘ 0 (mod 2) and __v__(__v__β1)Ξ» β‘ 0 (mod 10), except for the impossib
## Abstract We characterize the family of hamiltonian tournaments with the least number of 3βcycles, studying their structure and their score sequence. Furthermore, we obtain the number of nonisomorphic tournaments of this family.
## Abstract A 3βuniform hypergraph (3βgraph) is said to be tight, if for any 3βpartition of its vertex set there is a transversal triple. We give the final steps in the proof of the conjecture that the minimum number of triples in a tight 3βgraph on __n__ vertices is exactly $\left\lceil n(n-2)/3 \
