Countable connected-homogeneous digraphs

A digraph is connected-homogeneous if every isomorphism between two finite connected induced subdigraphs extends to an automorphism of the whole digraph. In this paper, we completely classify the countable connected-homogeneous digraphs.Comment: 49 page

The conjugacy problem for automorphism groups of countable homogeneous structures

We consider the conjugacy problem for the automorphism groups of a number of countable homogeneous structures. In each case we find the precise complexity of the conjugacy relation in the sense of Borel reducibility

Minimum Cost Homomorphisms to Locally Semicomplete and Quasi-Transitive Digraphs

For digraphs $G$ and $H$, a homomorphism of $G$ to $H$ is a mapping $f:\ V(G)\dom V(H)$such that$uv\in A(G)$implies$f(u)f(v)\in A(H)$. If, moreover, each vertex$u \in V(G)$is associated with costs$c_i(u), i \in V(H)$, then the cost of a homomorphism$f$is$\sum_{u\in V(G)}c_{f(u)}(u)$. For each fixed digraph$H$, the minimum cost homomorphism problem for$H$, denoted MinHOM($H$), can be formulated as follows: Given an input digraph$G$, together with costs$c_i(u)$,$u\in V(G)$,$i\in V(H)$, decide whether there exists a homomorphism of$G$to$H$ and, if one exists, to find one of minimum cost. Minimum cost homomorphism problems encompass (or are related to) many well studied optimization problems such as the minimum cost chromatic partition and repair analysis problems. We focus on the minimum cost homomorphism problem for locally semicomplete digraphs and quasi-transitive digraphs which are two well-known generalizations of tournaments. Using graph-theoretic characterization results for the two digraph classes, we obtain a full dichotomy classification of the complexity of minimum cost homomorphism problems for both classes
