Abstract
The orientation completion problem for a fixed class of oriented graphs asks whether a given partially oriented graph can be completed to an oriented graph in the class. Orientation completion problems have been studied recently for several classes of oriented graphs, including local tournaments. Local tournaments are intimately related to proper circular-arc graphs and proper interval graphs. In particular, proper interval graphs are precisely those which can be oriented as acyclic local tournaments. In this paper we determine all obstructions for acyclic local tournament orientation completions. These are in a sense minimal partially oriented graphs that cannot be completed to acyclic local tournaments. Our results imply that a polynomial time certifying algorithm exists for the acyclic local tournament orientation completion problem.
