Tournaments and the Erd\"{o}s-Hajnal Conjecture
Abstract
The celebrated Erd\"{o}s-Hajnal conjecture states that for every undirected graph there exists such that every undirected graph on vertices that does not contain as an induced subgraph contains a clique or a stable set of size at least . This conjecture has a directed equivalent version stating that for every tournament there exists such that every -free -vertex tournament contains a transitive subtournament of order at least . This conjecture is proved for few infinite families of tournaments. In this paper we construct a new infinite family of tournaments the family of so-called flotilla-galaxies and we prove the correctness of the conjecture for every flotilla-galaxy tournament.
