چکیده

Mader conjectured that for all ` there is an integer δ(`) such that every digraph of minimum outdegree at least δ(`) contains a subdivision of a transitive tournament of order `. In this note we observe that if the minimum outdegree of a digraph is sufficiently large compared to its order then one can even guarantee a subdivision of a large complete digraph. More precisely, let ~ G be a digraph of order n whose minimum outdegree is at least d. Then ~ G contains a subdivision of a complete digraph of order bd/(8n)c.

A note on the Roman domatic number of a digraph

Roman dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is a labeling$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$such that every vertex with label $0$ has an in-neighbor with label $2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ ofRoman dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vin V(D)$,is called a {em Roman dominating family} (of functions) on $D$....

A note on the query complexity of the Condorcet winner problem

Given an unknown tournament over {1, . . . , n}, we show that the query complexity of the question “Is there a vertex with outdegree n − 1?” (known as a Condorcet winner in social choice theory) is exactly 2n − blog(n)c − 2. This stands in stark contrast to the evasiveness of this property in general digraphs.

On extremal weighted digraphs with no heavy paths

Bollobás and Scott proved that if the weighted outdegree of every vertex of a weighted digraph is at least 1, then it contains a (directed) path of weight at least 1. In this note we characterize the extremal weighted digraphs with no heavy paths. Our result is an extension of a corresponding theorem of Bondy and Fan in weighted graphs. Besides, we give examples showing the invalidity of genera...

Digraph Complexity Measures and Applications in Formal Language Theory

We investigate structural complexity measures on digraphs, in particular the cycle rank. This concept is intimately related to a classical topic in formal language theory, namely the star height of regular languages. We explore this connection, and obtain several new algorithmic insights regarding both cycle rank and star height. Among other results, we show that computing the cycle rank is NP-...
