Oriented graphs with prescribed -center and -median
If D = (V, A) is a digraph, its competition graph (with loops) CGl(D) has the vertex set V and {u, v} ⊆ V is an edge of CGl(D) if and only if there is a vertex w ∈ V such that (u, w), (v, w) ∈ A. In CGl(D), loops {v} are allowed only if v is the only predecessor of a certain vertex w ∈ V. For several products D1 ⚬ D2 of digraphs D1 and D2, we investigate the relations between the competition graphs of the factors D1, D2 and the competition graph of their product D1 ⚬ D2.
The paper extends the results given by M. Křížek and L. Somer, On a connection of number theory with graph theory, Czech. Math. J. 54 (129) (2004), 465–485 (see [5]). For each positive integer define a digraph whose set of vertices is the set and for which there is a directed edge from to if The properties of such digraphs are considered. The necessary and the sufficient condition for the symmetry of a digraph is proved. The formula for the number of fixed points of is established....
We show that the out-radius and the radius grow linearly, or "almost" linearly, in iterated line digraphs. Further, iterated line digraphs with a prescribed out-center, or a center, are constructed. It is shown that not every line digraph is admissible as an out-center of line digraph.
An arc-coloured digraph D = (V,A) is said to be rainbow connected if for every pair {u, v} ⊆ V there is a directed uv-path all whose arcs have different colours and a directed vu-path all whose arcs have different colours. The minimum number of colours required to make the digraph D rainbow connected is called the rainbow connection number of D, denoted rc⃗ (D). A cactus is a digraph where each arc belongs to exactly one directed cycle. In this paper we give sharp upper and lower bounds for the...
