Abstract

A digraph is (Formula presented.) -dominating if every set of at most (Formula presented.) vertices has a common out-neighbor. For all integers (Formula presented.), let (Formula presented.) be the smallest integer such that the vertices of every 2-edge-colored (finite or infinite) complete digraph (including loops) can be covered by the vertices of at most (Formula presented.) monochromatic (Formula presented.) -dominating subgraphs. Note that the existence of (Formula presented.) is not obvious – indeed, the question which motivated this paper was simply to determine whether (Formula presented.) is bounded, even for (Formula presented.). We answer this question affirmatively for all (Formula presented.), proving (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.). We also give an example to show that there is no analogous bound for more than two colors. Our result provides a positive answer to a question regarding an infinite analogue of the Burr-Erdős conjecture on the Ramsey numbers of (Formula presented.) -degenerate graphs. Moreover, a special case of our result is related to properties of (Formula presented.) -paradoxical tournaments. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
