Path-connectivity in local tournaments (Q1356475)

A digraph \(D\) is called generalized arc-pancyclic if \(D\) is arc-pancyclic and for any two nonadjacent vertices \(x,y\in V(D)\) there are an \((x,y)\)-path of length \(k\) and a \((y,x)\)-path of length \(k\) for each \(k\in\{2,3,\dots,|V(D)|-1\}\). A digraph is strongly path-panconnected if for any two vertices \(x,y\in V(D)\) and any integer \(k\) with \(2\leq k\leq |V(D)|-1\), there is an \((x,y)\)-path of length \(k\) and a \((y,x)\)-path of length \(k\) in \(D\). The author characterizes generalized arc-pancyclic and strongly path-panconnected local tournaments, respectively, by defining classes of digraphs hindering this characteristic. These are extensions of corresponding results for tournaments of \textit{F. Tian}, \textit{Z.-S. Wu} and \textit{C.-Q. Zhang} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 33, 245-255 (1982; Zbl 0495.05028)] and \textit{K.-M. Zhang} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 33, 166-177 (1982; Zbl 0488.05038)], respectively.
