Let D be a locally finite, connected, 1-arc transitive digraph. It is shown that the reachability relation is not universal in D provided that the stabilizer of an edge satisfies certain conditions which seem to be typical for highly arc transitive digraphs. As an implication, the reachability relation cannot be universal in highly arc transitive digraphs with prime inor out-degree. Two differe...

We consider the relationships between Cayley digraphs and their coset graphs with respect to subgroups and obtain some general results on homomorphism and broadcasting between them. We also derive a general factorization theorem on subgraphs of Cayley digraphs by their automorphism groups. We discuss the applications of these results to well-known interconnection networks such as the butterfly ...

In the context of the degree/diameter problem for directed graphs, it is known that the number of vertices of a strongly connected bipartite digraph satisfies a Moore-like bound in terms of its diameter k and the maximum out-degrees (d1; d2) of its partite sets of vertices. It has been proved that, when d1d2 > 1, the digraphs attaining such a bound, called Moore bipartite digraphs, only exist w...

The modular decomposition of a graph is a canonical representation of its modules. Algorithms for computing the modular decomposition of directed and undirected graphs differ significantly, with the undirected case being simpler, and algorithms for directed graphs often work by reducing the problem to decomposing undirected graphs. In this paper we show that transitive acyclic digraphs have the...

In this article we generalize the concept of line digraphs to line dihypergraphs. We give some general properties in particular concerning connectivity parameters of dihypergraphs and their line dihypergraphs, like the fact that the arc connectivity of a line dihypergraph is greater than or equal to that of the original dihypergraph. Then we show that the De Bruijn and Kautz dihypergraphs (whic...

A digraph is semicomplete if any two vertices are connected by at least one arc and locally the out-neighbourhood in-neighbourhood of vertex induce a digraph. In this paper we study various subclasses digraphs for which give structural decomposition theorems. As consequence obtain several applications, among an answer to conjecture Naserasr first third authors (Aboulker et al., 2021): oriented ...

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...

A semicomplete multipartite or semicomplete c-partite digraph D is a biorientation of a c-partite graph. A semicomplete multipartite digraph D is called strongly quasiHamiltonian-connected, if for any two distinct vertices x and y of D, there is a path P from x to y such that P contains at least one vertex from each partite set of D. In this paper we show that every 4-strong semicomplete multip...
