Abstract

Gutjahr, Welzl and Woeginger found polynomial-time algorithms for a number of digraph homomorphism problems. These algorithms are based on the X@?-enumeration, theC"k-extended X@?-enumeration and the X@?-graft construction. In this note, we show how the last two methods can be combined to obtain new polynomial-time algorithms, which also work for list homomorphisms. In the process, we are able to extend results of Bang-Jensen and Hell, dealing with homomorphisms to bipartite tournaments, to list homomorphisms.
