The paper extends the results given by M. Křížek and L. Somer, On a connection of number theory with graph theory, Czech. Math. J. 54 (129) (2004), 465–485 (see [5]). For each positive integer n define a digraph Γ ( n ) whose set of vertices is the set H = { 0 , 1 , , n - 1 } and for which there is a directed edge from a H to b H if a 3 b ( mod n ) . The properties of such digraphs are considered. The necessary and the sufficient condition for the symmetry of a digraph Γ ( n ) is proved. The formula for the number of fixed points of Γ ( n ) is established. Moreover, some connection of the length of cycles with the Carmichael λ -function is presented.
