Maximum directed cuts in acyclic digraphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

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...
متن کاملTHE RELATION BETWEEN TOPOLOGICAL ORDERING AND ADJACENCY MATRIX IN DIGRAPHS
In this paper the properties of node-node adjacency matrix in acyclic digraphs are considered. It is shown that topological ordering and node-node adjacency matrix are closely related. In fact, first the one to one correspondence between upper triangularity of node-node adjacency matrix and existence of directed cycles in digraphs is proved and then with this correspondence other properties of ...
متن کاملAcyclic Colorings and Subgraphs of Directed Graphs
The acyclic chromatic number of a directed graph D, denoted χA(D), is the minimum positive integer k such that there exists a decomposition of the vertices of D into k disjoint sets, each of which induces an acyclic subgraph. We show that for all digraphs D without directed 2-cycles, we have χA(D) ≤ 4 5 · ∆̄(D) + o(∆̄(D)), where ∆̄(D) denotes the maximum arithmetic mean of the out-degree and the i...
متن کاملA new approach to compute acyclic chromatic index of certain chemical structures
An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph $G$ denoted by $chi_a '(G)$ is the minimum number $k$ such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using $k$ colors. The maximum degree in $G$ denoted by $Delta(G)$, is the lower bound for $chi_a '(G)$. $P$-cuts introduced in this paper acts as a powerfu...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for the Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree Problem on Acyclic Digraphs
We consider the problem Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree (MLST) on digraphs, which is defined as follows. Given a digraph G, find a directed spanning tree of G that maximizes the number of leaves. MLST is NP-hard. Existing approximation algorithms for MLST have ratios of O( √ OPT) and 92. We focus on the special case of acyclic digraphs and propose two lineartime approximation algorithms; one with ra...
