Assume that D is a digraph without cyclic triangles and its vertices are partitioned into classes A 1 , …, A t of independent vertices. A set is called a dominating set of size | S | if for any vertex there is a w ∈ U such that ( w, v )∈ E ( D ). Let β( D ) be the cardinality of the largest independent set of D whose vertices are from different partite classes of D . Our main result says that there exists a h = h (β( D )) such that D has a dominating set of size at most h . This result is applied to settle a problem related to generalized Gallai colorings, edge colorings of graphs without 3‐colored triangles. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory
