| contents | Strongly chordal digraphs are included in the class of chordal digraphs and generalize strongly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. They are the digraphs that admit a linear ordering of its vertex set for which their adjacency matrix does not contain the $Γ$ matrix as a submatrix. In general, it is not clear if these digraphs can be recognized in polynomial time. We focus on multipartite tournaments with possible loops. We give a polynomial-time recognition algorithm and a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of the strong chordality for each of the following cases: tournaments with possible loops, reflexive multipartite tournaments, irreflexive bipartite tournaments, irreflexive tournaments minus one arc, and balanced digraphs.
In addition, we prove that in a strongly chordal digraph the minimum size of a total dominating set equals the maximum number of disjoint in-neighborhoods, and this number can be calculated in linear time given a $Γ$-free ordering of the input graph. |
