When does a graph have a minimally strong orientation?
Given an asymmetric relation $A\subseteq V^2$ a digraph $D=(V,A)$ is minimally strong iff $D$ is strongly connected and for all arcs $\alpha\in A$ the digraph $D−\alpha=(V,A\setminus\{\alpha\})$ is ...

Extension of Erdős-Gallai (s,t)-path theorem to directed graphs
The following is a result of Erdős-Gallai from 1959 (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02024498):
Given a 2-connected undirected unweighted graph with minimum degree at least $d$, for every ...

Minimum of sums over degree products in a directed acyclic graph
My problem is the following: we have a graph $ G=(V,E)$. Having a total ordering $ \eta $ of the nodes, we give a direction to the edges such that $ (u,v) $ is directed from $u$ to $v$ iif $ \eta(u) &...

Terminology for transforming a directed acyclic graph into a tree
I am looking for the term of converting a directed acyclic graph (DAG) into a tree by traversing its topologically ordered nodes and copying the subtrees of the nodes with in-degree $> 1$.
Such a ...

When does the induced directed graph of a directed multigraph preserve information?
Let G be a directed multigraph, and let H be the induced directed graph whose vertices are the edges of G, and whose edges are given by pairs of consecutive edges in G; i.e., there is an edge from v ...

Misunderstanding the definition of kernel in digraphs
By Borodin–Kostochka–Woodall '97 paper, the first paragraph says that directed odd cycles do not have kernels. But, I don't get this. Like, consider any $\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor$ set of independent ...

Partitioning antidirected trees with bounded degree, such that the graph induced by the partition is a constant antidirected tree
Given a partition of the vertices of a graph, we can define an auxiliary graph which conveys information about the edges between sets of the partition. This defines a graph with vertex set equal to ...

Name for a directed acyclic graph with no skip-level edges?
I'm looking at a specific class of DAGs, namely those DAGs such that any path from $u$ to $v$ has the same length. Informally, we don't allow "skip-level" edges. I understand these graphs ...

Kernel perfect orientations of complete graphs
How can we create a kernel perfect orientation of a complete graph? A kernel of a graph is a set of vertices in a graph $G$, which absorbs other vertices, that is, has all the vertices in its ...

Generating tournaments inductively
This is a somewhat vague question, but I'm interested in ways to create a strong tournament from one or more smaller tournaments. Obviously, the disjoint union of two tournaments is a new tournament, ...

2-regular directed graphs where the commutative property or relation holds at every vertex and abelian Cayley digraphs
2-regular directed graphs where the commutative property or relation holds at every vertex and abelian Cayley digraphs.
You are given a 2 regular (2-in 2-out) directed graph where you can check that ...

Kernel perfection in some powers of cycles
Suppose I orient the edges of the power of cycle graph $G=C_n^k$ where $n=16$ and $k=4$ in such a way that all the generated cycles by the elements $1,2,3,4$ are given the standard lexical orientation....
