چکیده

Given a directed graph G = (V;E), a natural problem is to choose a minimum number of the edges in E such that, for any two vertices u and v, if there is a path from u to v in E, then there is a path from u to v among the chosen edges. We show that in graphs having no directed cycle with more than three edges, this problem is equivalent to Maximum Bipartite Matching. This leads to a small improvement in the performance guarantee of the previous best approximation algorithm for the general problem.

On spectral radius of strongly connected digraphs

 It is known that the directed cycle of order $n$ uniquely achieves the minimum spectral radius among all strongly connected digraphs of order $nge 3$. In this paper, among others, we determine the digraphs which achieve the second, the third and the fourth minimum spectral radii respectively among strongly connected digraphs of order $nge 4$.

ALGEBRAS WITH CYCLE-FINITE STRONGLY SIMPLY CONNECTED GALOIS COVERINGS

Let $A$ be a nite dimensional $k-$algebra and $R$ be a locally bounded category such that $R rightarrow R/G = A$ is a Galois covering dened by the action of a torsion-free group of automorphisms of $R$. Following [30], we provide criteria on the convex subcategories of a strongly simply connected category R in order to be a cycle- nite category and describe the module category of $A$. We p...

Generalized Exponents of Primitive Symmetric Digraphs

A strongly connected digraph D of order n is primitive (aperiodic) provided the greatest common divisor of its directed cycle lengths equals 1. For such a digraph there is a minimum integer t, called the exponent of D, such that given any ordered pair of vertices x and y there is a directed walk from x to y of length t. The exponent of D is the largest of n ‘generalized exponents’ that may be a...

The Diameter of Randomly Perturbed Digraphs and Some Applications

The central observation of this paper is that if ǫn random arcs are added to any n-node strongly connected digraph with bounded degree then the resulting graph has diameter O(lnn) with high probability. We apply this to smoothed analysis of algorithms and property testing. Smoothed Analysis: Recognizing strongly connected digraphs is a basic computational task in graph theory. Even for digraphs...

A sufficient condition for the existence of k-kernels in digraphs

In this paper, we prove the following sufficient condition for the existence of k-kernels in digraphs: Let D be a digraph whose asymmetrical part is strongly conneted and such that every directed triangle has at least two symmetrical arcs. If every directed cycle γ of D with `(γ) 6≡ 0(mod k), k ≥ 2 satisfies at least one of the following properties: (a) γ has two symmetrical arcs, (b) γ has fou...
