David Sumner (a [[graph theory|graph theorist]] at the [[University of South Carolina]]) [[conjecture]]d in 1971 that [[tournament (graph theory)|tournaments]] are [[universal graph]]s for [[polytree]]s. More precisely, '''Sumner's conjecture''' (also called '''Sumner's universal tournament conjecture''') states that every [[Orientation (graph theory)|orientation]] of every <math>n</math>-vertex [[Tree (graph theory)|tree]] is a [[subgraph]] of every <math>(2n-2)</math>-vertex tournament.<ref>{{harvtxt|Kühn|Mycroft|Osthus|2011a}}.

==Examples==
Let polytree <math>P</math> be a [[Star (graph theory)|star]] <math>K_{1,n-1}</math>, in which all edges are oriented outward from the central vertex to the leaves. Then, <math>P</math> cannot be embedded in the tournament formed from the vertices of a regular <math>2n-3</math>-gon by directing every edge clockwise around the polygon. For, in this tournament, every vertex has indegree and outdegree equal to <math>n-2</math>, while the central vertex in <math>P</math> has larger outdegree <math>n-1</math>.<ref>This example is from {{harvtxt|Kühn|Mycroft|Osthus|2011a}}.</ref> Thus, if true, Sumner's conjecture would give the best possible size of a universal graph for polytrees.
 
However, in every tournament of <math>2n-2</math> vertices, the average outdegree is <math>n-\frac{3}{2}</math>, and the maximum outdegree is an integer greater than or equal to the average. Therefore, there exists a vertex of outdegree <math>\left\lceil n-\frac{3}{2}\right\rceil=n-1</math>, which can be used as the central vertex for a copy of <math>P</math>.
 
==Partial results==
The following partial results on the conjecture are known.
*It is true for all sufficiently large values of <math>n</math>.<ref>{{harvtxt|Kühn|Mycroft|Osthus|2011b}}.</ref>
*There is a function <math>f(n)</math> with asymptotic growth rate <math>f(n)=2n+o(n)</math> with the property that every <math>n</math>-vertex polytree can be embedded as a subgraph of every <math>f(n)</math>-vertex tournament. Additionally and more explicitly, <math>f(n)\le 3n-3</math>.<ref>{{harvtxt|Kühn|Mycroft|Osthus|2011a}} and {{harvtxt|El Sahili|2004}}.

*There is a function <math>g(k)</math> such that tournaments on <math>n+g(k)</math> vertices are universal for polytrees with <math>k</math> leaves.<ref>{{harvtxt|Häggkvist|Thomason|1991}}; {{harvtxt|Havet|Thomassé|2000a}}; {{harvtxt|Havet|2002}}.</ref>
*There is a function <math>h(n,\Delta)</math> such that every <math>n</math>-vertex polytree with maximum degree at most <math>\Delta</math> forms a subgraph of every tournament with <math>h(n,\Delta)</math> vertices. When <math>\Delta</math> is a fixed constant, the asymptotic growth rate of <math>h(n,\Delta)</math> is <math>n+o(n)</math>.<ref>{{harvtxt|Kühn|Mycroft|Osthus|2011a}}.</ref>
*Every "near-regular" tournament on <math>2n-2</math> vertices contains every <math>n</math>-vertex polytree.<ref name="rw83">{{harvtxt|Reid|Wormald|1983}}.</ref>
*Every orientation of an <math>n</math>-vertex [[caterpillar tree]] with [[diameter (graph theory)|diameter]] at most four can be embedded as a subgraph of every <math>(2n-2)</math>-vertex tournament.<ref name="rw83"/>
*Every <math>(2n-2)</math>-vertex tournament contains as a subgraph every <math>n</math>-vertex [[rooted tree]].<ref>{{harvtxt|Havet|Thomassé|2000b}}.</ref>
 
==Related conjectures==
{{harvtxt|Rosenfeld|1972}} conjectured that every orientation of an <math>n</math>-vertex [[path graph]] (with <math>n\ge 8</math>) can be embedded as a subgraph into every <math>n</math>-vertex tournament.<ref name="rw83"/> After partial results by {{harvtxt|Thomason|1986}} this was proven by {{harvtxt|Havet|Thomassé|2000a}}.

Because complete graphs require a different color for each vertex, Sumner's conjecture would follow immediately from Burr's conjecture.<ref>This is a corrected version of Burr's conjecture from {{harvtxt|Wormald|1983}}.</ref> As Burr showed, orientations of graphs whose chromatic number grows quadratically as a function of <math>n</math> are universal for polytrees.

A effectively-sharpened knife is what makes your activity of slicing, chopping and slicing easier.

So, it is higher to maintain their edge by sharpening them whenever they get uninteresting. Whetstone, Sharpening steel and Electrical knife sharpener are some of the tools used for sharpening knives. Scroll all the way down to learn about knife sharpening suggestions and techniques that will help you maintain the knife sharp and therefore, helpful.

Self protection and survival are two issues that ought to by no means be taken with no consideration.
