Let $G$ be a simple graph. A function $f$ from the set of orientations of $G$ to the set of non-negative integers is called a continuous function on orientations of $G$ if, for any two orientations $O_1$ and $O_2$ of $G$, $|f\left(O_1\right)-f\left(O_2\right)|\le 1$ whenever $O_1$ and $O_2$ differ in the orientation of exactly one edge of $G$. We show that any continuous function on orientations of a simple graph $G$ has the interpolation property as follows: If there are two orientations $O_1$ and $O_2$ of $G$ with $f\left(O_1\right)=p$ and $f\left(O_2\right)=q$, where $p<q$, then for any integer $k$ such that $p<k<q$, there are...

The study on limit points of eigenvalues of undirected graphs was initiated by A. J. Hoffman in 1972. Now we extend the study to digraphs. We prove: 1. Every real number is a limit point of eigenvalues of graphs. Every complex number is a limit point of eigenvalues of digraphs. 2. For a digraph $D$, the set of limit points of eigenvalues of iterated subdivision digraphs of $D$ is the unit circle in the complex plane if and only if $D$ has a directed cycle. 3. Every limit point of eigenvalues of a set...
