چکیده

For integers k, l ≥ 0, let D(k, l) denote the family of digraphs in which every vertex has either indegree at most k or outdegree at most l. In this paper we prove that the edges of every digraph in D(3, 3) and D(4, 4) can be covered by at most five directed cuts, and present an example in D(3, 3) which shows that this result is best possible.

Maximum directed cuts in acyclic digraphs

It is easily shown that every digraph with m edges has a directed cut of size at least m/4, and that 1/4 cannot be replaced by any larger constant. We investigate the size of a largest directed cut in acyclic digraphs, and prove a number of related results concerning cuts in digraphs and acyclic digraphs.

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...

Twin signed total Roman domatic numbers in digraphs

Let $D$ be a finite simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$ and arcset $A(D)$. A twin signed total Roman dominating function (TSTRDF) on thedigraph $D$ is a function $f:V(D)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfyingthe conditions that (i) $sum_{xin N^-(v)}f(x)ge 1$ and$sum_{xin N^+(v)}f(x)ge 1$ for each $vin V(D)$, where $N^-(v)$(resp. $N^+(v)$) consists of all in-neighbors (resp.out-neighbors) of $v$, and (...

The Iteration Digraphs of Lambert Map Over the Local Ring $mathbb{Z}/p^kmathbb{Z}$ : Structures and Enumerations

Let $p$ be prime and $alpha:x mapsto xg^x$, the Discrete Lambert Map. For $kgeq 1,$ let $ V = {0, 1, 2, . . . , p^k-1}$. The iteration digraph is a directed graph with $V$ as the vertex set and there is a unique directed edge from $u$ to $alpha(u)$ for each $uin V.$ We denote this digraph by $G(g, p^{k}),$ where $gin (mathbb{Z}/p^kmathbb{Z})^*.$  In this piece of work, we investigate the struct...

The Italian domatic number of a digraph

An {em Italian dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is defined as a function$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$ such that every vertex $vin V(D)$ with $f(v)=0$ has at least two in-neighborsassigned 1 under $f$ or one in-neighbor $w$ with $f(w)=2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ of distinctItalian dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vi...
