Słupecki digraphs

Abstract Call a finite relational structure k-Słupecki if its only surjective k -ary polymorphisms are essentially unary, and Słupecki if it is k -Słupecki for all $$k \ge 2$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>≥</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> .

Abstract

Abstract Call a finite relational structure k-Słupecki if its only surjective k -ary polymorphisms are essentially unary, and Słupecki if it is k -Słupecki for all $$k \ge 2$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>≥</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . We present conditions, some necessary and some sufficient, for a reflexive digraph to be Słupecki. We prove that all digraphs that triangulate a 1-sphere are Słupecki, as are all the ordinal sums $$m \oplus n$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>m</mml:mi> <mml:mo>⊕</mml:mo> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> ( $$m,n \ge 2$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>m</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>≥</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> ).
