Strongly connectable digraphs and non-transitive dice
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that a directed graph extends to a strongly connected digraph on the same vertex set if and only if it has no complete directed cut. We bound the number of edges needed for such an extension, and we apply the characterization to a problem on non-transitive dice.

Strongly Connected Spanning Subdigraphs with the Minimum Number of Arcs in Quasi-transitive Digraphs
We consider the problem (MSSS) of nding a strongly connected spanning subgraph with the minimum number of arcs in a strongly connected digraph. This problem is NP-hard for general digraphs since it generalizes the hamil-tonian cycle problem. We show that the problem is polynomially solvable for quasi-transitive digraphs. We describe the minimum number of arcs in such a spanning subgraph of a qu...
متن کامل3-transitive Digraphs
Let D be a digraph, V (D) and A(D) will denote the sets of vertices and arcs of D, respectively. A digraph D is 3-transitive if the existence of the directed path (u, v, w, x) of length 3 in D implies the existence of the arc (u, x) ∈ A(D). In this article strong 3-transitive digraphs are characterized and the structure of non-strong 3-transitive digraphs is described. The results are used, e.g...
متن کاملBalanced Non-Transitive Dice
We study triples of labeled dice in which the relation “is a better die than” is non-transitive. Focusing on such triples with an additional symmetry we call “balanced,” we prove that such triples of n-sided dice exist for all n ≥ 3. We then examine the sums of the labels of such dice, and use these results to construct an O(n) algorithm for verifying whether or not a triple of n-sided dice is ...
متن کاملOn 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 $nge 4$.
متن کاملModular decomposition of transitive graphs and transitively orienting their complements
The modular decomposition of a graph is a canonical representation of its modules. Algorithms for computing the modular decomposition of directed and undirected graphs differ significantly, with the undirected case being simpler, and algorithms for directed graphs often work by reducing the problem to decomposing undirected graphs. In this paper we show that transitive acyclic digraphs have the...
