For any two positive integers n and k 2 , let G ( n , k ) be a digraph whose set of vertices is { 0 , 1 , ... , n - 1 } and such that there is a directed edge from a vertex a to a vertex b if a k b ( mod n ) . Let n = i = 1 r p i e i be the prime factorization of n . Let P be the set of all primes dividing n and let P 1 , P 2 P be such that P 1 P 2 = P and P 1 P 2 = . A fundamental constituent of G ( n , k ) , denoted by G P 2 * ( n , k ) , is a subdigraph of G ( n , k ) induced on the set of vertices which are multiples of p i P 2 p i and are relatively prime to all primes q P 1 . L. Somer and M. Křížek proved that the trees attached to all cycle vertices in the same fundamental constituent of G ( n , k ) are isomorphic. In this paper, we characterize all digraphs G ( n , k ) such that the trees attached to all cycle vertices in different fundamental constituents of G ( n , k ) are isomorphic. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition on G ( n , k ) such that the trees attached to all cycle vertices in G ( n , k ) are isomorphic.
