چکیده

Using a recent result of Chudnovsky, Seymour, and Sullivan, we slightly improve two bounds related to the Caccetta-Haggkvist Conjecture. Namely, we show that if α ≥ 0.35312, then each n-vertex digraph D with minimum outdegree at least αn has a directed 3-cycle. If β ≥ 0.34564, then every n-vertex digraph D in which the outdegree and the indegree of each vertex is at least βn has a directed 3-cycle.

Maximum Directed Cuts in Graphs with Degree Constraints

The Max Cut problem is an NP-hard problem and has been studied extensively. Alon et al. studied a directed version of the Max Cut problem and observed its connection to the Hall ratio of graphs. They proved, among others, that if an acyclic digraph has m edges and each vertex has indegree or outdegree at most 1, then it has a directed cut of size at least 2m/5. Lehel et al. extended this result...

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 $nge 4$.

Twin minus domination in directed graphs

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a finite simple directed graph. A function$f:Vlongrightarrow {-1,0,1}$ is called a twin minus dominatingfunction (TMDF) if $f(N^-[v])ge 1$ and $f(N^+[v])ge 1$ for eachvertex $vin V$. The twin minus domination number of $D$ is$gamma_{-}^*(D)=min{w(f)mid f mbox{ is a TMDF of } D}$. Inthis paper, we initiate the study of twin minus domination numbersin digraphs and present some lo...

Directed Triangles in Digraphs

A particularly interesting special case that is still open is: any digraph on n vertices with minimum outdegree at least n 3 contains a directed triangle. Short of proving this, one may seek a value c as small as possible such that every digraph on n vertices with minimum outdegree at least cn contains a directed triangle. This was the strategy of Caccetta and Ha ggkvist [3], who showed that c ...

Growth Rates of Groups associated with Face 2-Coloured Triangulations and Directed Eulerian Digraphs on the Sphere

Let G be a properly face 2-coloured (say black and white) piecewise-linear triangulation of the sphere with vertex set V . Consider the abelian group AW generated by the set V , with relations r+c+s = 0 for all white triangles with vertices r, c and s. The group AB can be defined similarly, using black triangles. These groups are related in the following manner AW ∼= AB ∼= Z⊕ Z⊕ C where C is a ...
