Abstract

Arc-locally semicomplete digraphs and arc-locally in-semicomplete digraphs were introduced by Bang–Jensen as a common generalization of both semicomplete and semicomplete bipartite digraphs in 1993. Later, Bang–Jensen (2004), Galeana–Sánchez and Goldfeder (2009) and Wang and Wang (2009) provided a characterization of strong arc-locally semicomplete digraphs. In 2009,Wang andWang provided a characterization of strong arc-locally in-semicomplete digraphs. In 2012, Galeana–Sánchez and Goldfeder provided a characterization of arbitrary arc-locally semicomplete digraphs which generalizes some results by Bang–Jensen. In this paper, we characterize the structure of arbitrary arc-locally (out) in-semicomplete digraphs and arbitrary arc-locally semicomplete digraphs.
