On independent sets and non-augmentable paths in directed graphs

H. Galeana-Sánchez (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We investigate sufficient conditions, and in case that D be an asymmetrical digraph a necessary and sufficient condition for a digraph to have the following property: "In any induced subdigraph H of D, every maximal independent set meets every non-augmentable path". Also we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for any orientation of a graph G results a digraph with the above property. The property studied in this paper is an instance of the property of a conjecture of J.M. Laborde,...

Kernels in monochromatic path digraphs

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, Laura Pastrana Ramírez, Hugo Alberto Rincón Mejía (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We call the digraph D an m-coloured digraph if its arcs are coloured with m colours. A directed path (or a directed cycle) is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are coloured alike. Let D be an m-coloured digraph. A set N ⊆ V(D) is said to be a kernel by monochromatic paths if it satisfies the following two conditions: (i) for every pair of different vertices u,v ∈ N there is no monochromatic directed path between them and (ii) for each vertex x ∈...

Monochromatic paths and monochromatic sets of arcs in bipartite tournaments

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, R. Rojas-Monroy, B. Zavala (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We call the digraph D an m-coloured digraph if the arcs of D are coloured with m colours and all of them are used. A directed path is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are coloured alike. A set N of vertices of D is called a kernel by monochromatic paths if for every pair of vertices there is no monochromatic path between them and for every vertex v in V(D)∖N there is a monochromatic path from v to some vertex in N. We denote by A⁺(u) the set of arcs of D that have u as...

Independent Detour Transversals in 3-Deficient Digraphs

Susan van Aardt, Marietjie Frick, Joy Singleton (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In 1982 Laborde, Payan and Xuong [Independent sets and longest directed paths in digraphs, in: Graphs and other combinatorial topics (Prague, 1982) 173-177 (Teubner-Texte Math., 59 1983)] conjectured that every digraph has an independent detour transversal (IDT), i.e. an independent set which intersects every longest path. Havet [Stable set meeting every longest path, Discrete Math. 289 (2004) 169-173] showed that the conjecture holds for digraphs with independence number two. A digraph...

γ-Cycles And Transitivity By Monochromatic Paths In Arc-Coloured Digraphs

Enrique Casas-Bautista, Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, Rocío Rojas-Monroy (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We call the digraph D an m-coloured digraph if its arcs are coloured with m colours. If D is an m-coloured digraph and a ∈ A(D), colour(a) will denote the colour has been used on a. A path (or a cycle) is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are coloured alike. A γ-cycle in D is a sequence of vertices, say γ = (u0, u1, . . . , un), such that ui ≠ uj if i ≠ j and for every i ∈ 0, 1, . . . , n there is a uiui+1-monochromatic path in D and there is no ui+1ui-monochromatic path in D (the...

Monochromatic paths and monochromatic sets of arcs in 3-quasitransitive digraphs

Similarity:

We call the digraph D an m-coloured digraph if the arcs of D are coloured with m colours. A directed path is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are coloured alike. A set N of vertices of D is called a kernel by monochromatic paths if for every pair of vertices of N there is no monochromatic path between them and for every vertex v ∉ N there is a monochromatic path from v to N. We denote by A⁺(u) the set of arcs of D that have u as the initial vertex. We prove that if D is an m-coloured...

Kernels in edge coloured line digraph

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We call the digraph D an m-coloured digraph if the arcs of D are coloured with m colours. A directed path (or a directed cycle) is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are coloured alike. A set N ⊆ V(D) is said to be a kernel by monochromatic paths if it satisfies the two following conditions (i) for every pair of different vertices u, v ∈ N there is no monochromatic directed path between them and (ii) for every vertex x ∈ V(D)-N there is a vertex y ∈ N such that there is an...

Exponents of two-colored digraphs

Yan Ling Shao, Yubin Gao (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We consider the primitive two-colored digraphs whose uncolored digraph has n + s vertices and consists of one n -cycle and one ( n - 3 ) -cycle. We give bounds on the exponents and characterizations of extremal two-colored digraphs.

Isomorphisms and traversability of directed path graphs

Hajo Broersma, Xueliang Li (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The concept of a line digraph is generalized to that of a directed path graph. The directed path graph Pₖ(D) of a digraph D is obtained by representing the directed paths on k vertices of D by vertices. Two vertices are joined by an arc whenever the corresponding directed paths in D form a directed path on k+1 vertices or form a directed cycle on k vertices in D. In this introductory paper several properties of P₃(D) are studied, in particular with respect to isomorphism and traversability....
