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...

On a conjecture of quintas and arc-traceability in upset tournaments

Arthur H. Busch, Michael S. Jacobson, K. Brooks Reid (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A digraph D = (V,A) is arc-traceable if for each arc xy in A, xy lies on a directed path containing all the vertices of V, i.e., hamiltonian path. We prove a conjecture of Quintas [7]: if D is arc-traceable, then the condensation of D is a directed path. We show that the converse of this conjecture is false by providing an example of an upset tournament which is not arc-traceable. We then give a characterization for upset tournaments in terms of their score sequences, characterize which...

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....

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.

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

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. 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 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 ∈...
