چکیده

A (k1 + k2)-bispindle is the union of k1 (x, y)-dipaths and k2 (y, x)-dipaths, all these dipaths being pairwise internally disjoint. Recently, Cohen et al. showed that for every (1, 1)bispindle B, there exists an integer k such that every strongly connected digraph with chromatic number greater than k contains a subdivision of B. We investigate generalisations of this result by first showing constructions of strongly connected digraphs with large chromatic number without any (3, 0)-bispindle or (2, 2)-bispindle. Then we show that strongly connected digraphs with large chromatic number contains a (2, 1)-bispindle, where at least one of the (x, y)-dipaths and the (y, x)-dipath are long.

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 $nge 4$.

Strengthened Brooks Theorem for digraphs of girth three

Brooks’ Theorem states that a connected graph G of maximum degree ∆ has chromatic number at most ∆, unless G is an odd cycle or a complete graph. A result of Johansson [6] shows that if G is triangle-free, then the chromatic number drops to O(∆/ log ∆). In this paper, we derive a weak analog for the chromatic number of digraphs. We show that every (loopless) digraph D without directed cycles of...

Sufficient conditions on the zeroth-order general Randic index for maximally edge-connected digraphs

Let D be a digraph with vertex set V(D) .For vertex v V(D), the degree of v, denoted by d(v), is defined as the minimum value if its out-degree  and its in-degree . Now let D be a digraph with minimum degree  and edge-connectivity If  is real number, then the zeroth-order general Randic index is defined by   .  A digraph is maximally edge-connected if . In this paper we present sufficient condi...

Tutte Polynomials for Directed Graphs

The Tutte polynomial is a fundamental invariant of graphs. In this article, we define and study a generalization of the Tutte polynomial for directed graphs, that we name B-polynomial. The B-polynomial has three variables, but when specialized to the case of graphs (that is, digraphs where arcs come in pairs with opposite directions), one of the variables becomes redundant and the B-polynomial ...

Brooks-type Results for Coloring of Digraphs

In the thesis, the coloring of digraphs is studied. The chromatic number of a digraph D is the smallest integer k so that the vertices of D can be partitioned into at most k sets each of which induces an acyclic subdigraph. A set of four topics on the chromatic number is presented. First, the dependence of the chromatic number of digraphs on the maximum degree is explored. An analog of Gallai’s...
