The structure of digraphs associated with the congruence x k y ( mod n )

Lawrence Somer, Michal Křížek (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

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 ) . We investigate the structure of G ( n , k ) . In particular, upper bounds are given for the longest cycle in G ( n , k ) . We find subdigraphs of G ( n , k ) , called fundamental constituents of G ( n , k ) , for which all trees attached to cycle vertices are isomorphic.

Isomorphic digraphs from powers modulo p

Guixin Deng, Pingzhi Yuan (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let p be a prime. We assign to each positive number k a digraph G p k whose set of vertices is { 1 , 2 , ... , p - 1 } and there exists a directed edge from a vertex a to a vertex b if a k b ( mod p ) . In this paper we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for G p k 1 G p k 2 .

On semiregular digraphs of the congruence x k y ( mod n )

Lawrence Somer, Michal Křížek (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

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.

Characterization of power digraphs modulo n

Uzma Ahmad, Syed Husnine (2011)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A power digraph modulo n , denoted by G ( n , k ) , is a directed graph with Z n = { 0 , 1 , , n - 1 } as the set of vertices and E = { ( a , b ) : a k b ( mod n ) } as the edge set, where n and k are any positive integers. In this paper we find necessary and sufficient conditions on n and k such that the digraph G ( n , k ) has at least one isolated fixed point. We also establish necessary and sufficient conditions on n and k such that the digraph G ( n , k ) contains exactly two components. The primality of Fermat number is also discussed.
