Abstract
Isaak posed the following problem. Suppose is a tournament having a minimum feedback arc set which induces an acyclic digraph with a hamiltonian path. Is it true that the maximum number of arc-disjoint cycles in equals the cardinality of minimum feedback arc set of ? We prove that the answer to the problem is in the negative. Further, we study the number of arc-disjoint cycles through a vertex of the minimum out-degree in an oriented graph . We prove that if is adjacent to all other vertices, then belongs to arc-disjoint cycles.
