摘要
Matrix partitions generalize graph colourings and homomorphisms. Their study has so far been confined to symmetric matrices and undirected graphs. In this paper we make an initial study of list matrix partitions for digraphs; in other words our matrices are not necessarily symmetric. We motivate future conjectures by classifying the complexity of all list matrix partition problems for matrices of size up to three. We find it convenient to model the problem in the language of trigraph homomorphisms. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
