On the complete digraphs which are simply disconnected.

Davide C. Demaria, José Carlos de Souza Kiihl (1991)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Homotopic methods are employed for the characterization of the complete digraphs which are the composition of non-trivial highly regular tournaments.

On the Complexity of the 3-Kernel Problem in Some Classes of Digraphs

Pavol Hell, César Hernández-Cruz (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let D be a digraph with the vertex set V (D) and the arc set A(D). A subset N of V (D) is k-independent if for every pair of vertices u, v ∈ N, we have d(u, v), d(v, u) ≥ k; it is l-absorbent if for every u ∈ V (D) − N there exists v ∈ N such that d(u, v) ≤ l. A k-kernel of D is a k-independent and (k − 1)-absorbent subset of V (D). A 2-kernel is called a kernel. It is known that the problem of determining whether a digraph has a kernel (“the kernel problem”) is NP-complete, even in quite restricted...

On The Determinant of q-Distance Matrix of a Graph

Hong-Hai Li, Li Su, Jing Zhang (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

In this note, we show how the determinant of the q-distance matrix Dq(T) of a weighted directed graph G can be expressed in terms of the corresponding determinants for the blocks of G, and thus generalize the results obtained by Graham et al. [R.L. Graham, A.J. Hoffman and H. Hosoya, On the distance matrix of a directed graph, J. Graph Theory 1 (1977) 85-88]. Further, by means of the result, we determine the determinant of the q-distance matrix of the graph obtained from a connected weighted graph...

On the Domination of Cartesian Product of Directed Cycles: Results for Certain Equivalence Classes of Lengths

Michel Mollard (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let (−→ Cm2−→ Cn) be the domination number of the Cartesian product of directed cycles −→ Cm and −→ Cn for m, n ≥ 2. Shaheen [13] and Liu et al. ([11], [12]) determined the value of (−→ Cm2−→ Cn) when m ≤ 6 and [12] when both m and n ≡ 0(mod 3). In this article we give, in general, the value of (−→ Cm2−→ Cn) when m ≡ 2(mod 3) and improve the known lower bounds for most of the remaining cases. We also disprove the conjectured formula for the case m ≡ 0(mod 3) appearing in [12].

On the Existence of (k,l)-Kernels in Infinite Digraphs: A Survey

H. Galeana-Sánchez, C. Hernández-Cruz (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let D be a digraph, V (D) and A(D) will denote the sets of vertices and arcs of D, respectively. A (k, l)-kernel N of D is a k-independent (if u, v ∈ N, u 6= v, then d(u, v), d(v, u) ≥ k) and l-absorbent (if u ∈ V (D) − N then there exists v ∈ N such that d(u, v) ≤ l) set of vertices. A k-kernel is a (k, k −1)-kernel. This work is a survey of results proving sufficient conditions for the existence of (k, l)-kernels in infinite digraphs. Despite all the previous work in this direction was done for...

On the heights of power digraphs modulo n

Uzma Ahmad, Husnine Syed (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A power digraph, denoted by G ( n , k ) , is a directed graph with n = { 0 , 1 , , n - 1 } as the set of vertices and E = { ( a , b ) : a k b ( mod n ) } as the edge set. In this paper we extend the work done by Lawrence Somer and Michal Křížek: On a connection of number theory with graph theory, Czech. Math. J. 54 (2004), 465–485, and Lawrence Somer and Michal Křížek: Structure of digraphs associated with quadratic congruences with composite moduli, Discrete Math. 306 (2006), 2174–2185. The heights of the vertices and the components of G ( n , k ) for n 1 and k 2 are determined....

On the heterochromatic number of circulant digraphs

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, Víctor Neumann-Lara (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The heterochromatic number hc(D) of a digraph D, is the minimum integer k such that for every partition of V(D) into k classes, there is a cyclic triangle whose three vertices belong to different classes. For any two integers s and n with 1 ≤ s ≤ n, let D n , s be the oriented graph such that V ( D n , s ) is the set of integers mod 2n+1 and A ( D n , s ) = ( i , j ) : j - i 1 , 2 , . . . , n s . . In this paper we prove that h c ( D n , s ) 5 for n ≥ 7. The bound is tight since equality holds when s ∈ n,[(2n+1)/3].
