Title
Binary Covering Arrays on Tournaments.
Abstract
We introduce graph-dependent covering arrays which generalize covering arrays on graphs, introduced by Meagher and Stevens (2005), and graph-dependent partition systems, studied by Gargano, Korner, and Vaccaro (1994). A covering array CA(n; 2; G;H) (of strength 2) on column graph G and alphabet graph H is an n x vertical bar V (G)vertical bar array with symbols V (H) such that for every arc ij is an element of E (G) and for every arc ab 2 is an element of (H), there exists a row (r) over right arrow = (r(1); ... ;r (vertical bar V (G)vertical bar)) such that (r(i), r(j)) = (a; b). We prove bounds on n when G is a tournament graph and E (H) consists of the edge (0; 1), which corresponds to a directed version of Sperner's 1928 theorem. For two infinite families of column graphs, transitive and so-called circular tournaments, we give constructions of covering arrays which are optimal infinitely often.
