Monochromatic reachability or rainbow triangles ★★★

Author(s): Sands; Sauer; Woodrow

In an edge-colored digraph, we say that a subgraph is rainbow if all its edges have distinct colors, and monochromatic if all its edges have the same color.

Problem   Let $ G $ be a tournament with edges colored from a set of three colors. Is it true that $ G $ must have either a rainbow directed cycle of length three or a vertex $ v $ so that every other vertex can be reached from $ v $ by a monochromatic (directed) path?

Monochromatic reachability in edge-colored tournaments ★★★

Author(s): Erdos

Problem   For every $ n $, is there a (least) positive integer $ f(n) $ so that whenever a tournament has its edges colored with $ n $ colors, there exists a set $ S $ of at most $ f(n) $ vertices so that every vertex has a monochromatic path to some point in $ S $?

Non-edges vs. feedback edge sets in digraphs ★★★

Author(s): Chudnovsky; Seymour; Sullivan

For any simple digraph $ G $, we let $ \gamma(G) $ be the number of unordered pairs of nonadjacent vertices (i.e. the number of non-edges), and $ \beta(G) $ be the size of the smallest feedback edge set.

Conjecture  If $ G $ is a simple digraph without directed cycles of length $ \le 3 $, then $ \beta(G) \le \frac{1}{2} \gamma(G) $.

The Two Color Conjecture ★★

Author(s): Neumann-Lara

Conjecture   If $ G $ is an orientation of a simple planar graph, then there is a partition of $ V(G) $ into $ \{X_1,X_2\} $ so that the graph induced by $ X_i $ is acyclic for $ i=1,2 $.
