In this article, we focus on structural and spectral properties of minimal strong digraphs (MSDs). We carry out a comparative study of properties of MSDs versus trees. This analysis includes two new properties. The rst one gives bounds on the coe cients of characteristic polynomials of trees (double directed trees), and conjectures the generalization of these bounds to MSDs. As a particular cas...
