let $g=(v‎, ‎e)$ be a graph with $p$ vertices and $q$ edges‎. ‎an emph{acyclic‎ ‎graphoidal cover} of $g$ is a collection $psi$ of paths in $g$‎ ‎which are internally-disjoint and cover each edge of the graph‎ ‎exactly once‎. ‎let $f‎: ‎vrightarrow {1‎, ‎2‎, ‎ldots‎, ‎p}$ be a bijective‎ ‎labeling of the vertices of $g$‎. ‎let $uparrow!g_f$ be the‎ ‎directed graph obtained by orienting the...

It was conjectured in [S. Akbari, F. Khaghanpoor, and S. Moazzeni. Colorful paths in vertex coloring of graphs. Preprint] that, if G is a connected graph distinct from C7, then there is a χ(G)-coloring of G in which every vertex v ∈ V (G) is an initial vertex of a path P with χ(G) vertices whose colors are different. In [S. Akbari, V. Liaghat, and A. Nikzad. Colorful paths in vertex coloring of...

We prove that the loop space of the directed suspension of a directed space is homotopy equivalent to the James construction. In particular, it does not depend on the directed structure of a given directed space.

Let T be a symmetric directed tree, i.e., an undirected tree with each edge viewed as two opposite arcs. We prove that the minimum number of colours needed to colour the set of all directed paths in T , so that no two paths of the same colour use the same arc of T , is equal to the maximum number of paths passing through an arc of T. This result is applied to solve the all-to-all communication ...
