چکیده

Bollobás and Scott proved that if the weighted outdegree of every vertex of a weighted digraph is at least 1, then it contains a (directed) path of weight at least 1. In this note we characterize the extremal weighted digraphs with no heavy paths. Our result is an extension of a corresponding theorem of Bondy and Fan in weighted graphs. Besides, we give examples showing the invalidity of generalizing a result of Bondy and Fan on the existence of heavy paths connecting two given vertices in a 2-connected weighted graph to a 2-strongly-connected weighted digraph.

A Proof of a Conjecture of Bondy Concerning Paths in Weighted Digraphs

Our aim in this note is to prove a conjecture of Bondy, extending a classical theorem of Dirac to edge-weighted digraphs: if every vertex has out-weight at least 1 then the digraph contains a path of weight at least 1. We also give several related conjectures and results concerning heavy cycles in edge-weighted digraphs.

Extremal Problems in Digraphs

Let G be a finite simple directed graph on n vertices. Say G is m-free if it has no directed cycles of length at most m. In 1978, Caccetta and Häggkvist [3] conjectured that if G has minimum out-degree at least r, then G is not dn/re-free. Finding upper bounds on the minimum out-degree in 3-free digraphs has been of particular interest in recent research. In this thesis, we present new results ...

Labeled Shortest Paths

This paper gives a shortest path algorithm for CFG (context free grammar) labeled and weighted digraphs where edge weights may be positive or negative, but negative-weight cycles are not allowed in the underlying unlabled graph. These results build directly on an algorithm of Barrett, Jacob, and Marathe [1]. In addition to many other results, they gave a shortest path algorithm for CFG labeled ...

Comments on "Extremal Cayley Digraphs of Finite Abelian Groups" [Intercon. Networks 12 (2011), numbers 1-2, 125-135]

We comment on the paper “Extremal Cayley digraphs of finite Abelian groups” [Intercon. Networks 12 (2011), no. 1-2, 125–135]. In particular, we give some counterexamples to the results presented there, and provide a correct result for degree two.
