Distinguishing tournaments with small label classes

A d-distinguishing vertex (arc) labeling of a digraph is a vertex (arc) labeling using d labels that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism. Let ρ(T) (ρ′(T)) be the minimum size of a label class in a 2-distinguishing vertex (arc) labeling of a tournament T. Gluck's Theorem implies that ρ(T)...

description A d-distinguishing vertex (arc) labeling of a digraph is a vertex (arc) labeling using d labels that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism. Let ρ(T) (ρ′(T)) be the minimum size of a label class in a 2-distinguishing vertex (arc) labeling of a tournament T. Gluck's Theorem implies that ρ(T) ≤ ⌊n/2⌋ for any tournament T of order n. We construct a family of tournaments ℌ such that ρ(T) ≥ ⌊n/2⌋ for any tournament of order n in ℌ. Additionally, we prove that ρ′(T) ≤ ⌊7n/36⌋ + 3 for any tournament T of order n and ρ′(T) ≥ ⌈n/6⌉ when T ∈ ℌ and has order n. These results answer some open questions stated by Boutin.
