Abstract

Abstract: In the context of two-path convexity, we study the rank, Helly number, Radon number, Caratheodory number, and hull number for multipartite tournaments. We show the maximum Caratheodory number of a multipartite tournament is 3. We then derive tight upper bounds for rank in both general multipartite tournaments and clone-free multipartite tournaments. We show that these same tight upper bounds hold for the Helly number, Radon number, and hull number. We classify all clone-free multipartite tournaments of maximum Helly number, Radon number, hull number, and rank. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
