Abstract

We assign to each pair of positive integers n and k 2 a digraph G ( n , k ) whose set of vertices is H = { 0 , 1 , , n - 1 } and for which there is a directed edge from a H to b H if a k b ( mod n ) . The digraph G ( n , k ) is semiregular if there exists a positive integer d such that each vertex of the digraph has indegree d or 0. Generalizing earlier results of the authors for the case in which k = 2 , we characterize all semiregular digraphs G ( n , k ) when k 2 is arbitrary.
