Abstract

In this paper, we study the componentwise linearity of powers of edge ideal of a weighted oriented graph DD. We give a characterization for componentwise linearity of the edge ideal I(D)I(D) in terms of forbidden subgraphs of DD. If DD is house-free or complete rr-partite, then the following statements are equivalent: (1) I(D)I(D) is componentwise linear; (2) I(D)I(D) is vertex splittable; (3) I(D)I(D) has linear quotient property; (4) both GG and H(I(D)(2))H(I(D)_{(2)}) are co-chordal and D1,D2,D3,D4D_1,D_2,D_3,D_4 as in Figure 3, are not induced subgraphs of DD. Furthermore, if DD is a complete rr-partite weighted oriented graph, then we show that: I(D)kI(D)^k is componentwise linear, for some k2    I(D)k\geq 2 \iff I(D) is componentwise linear.
