A kernel N of a digraph D is an independent set of vertices of D such that for every w ∈ V(D)-N there exists an arc from w to N. If every induced subdigraph of D has a kernel, D is said to be a kernel-perfect digraph. In this paper I investigate some sufficient conditions for a digraph to have a kernel by asking for the existence of certain diagonals or symmetrical arcs in each odd directed cycle whose length is at most 2α(D)+1, where α(D) is the maximum cardinality of an independent...
