Abstract

R. Wang (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, vol. 19(3), 2017) proposed the following problem. \textbf{Problem.} Let DD be a strongly connected balanced bipartite directed graph of order 2a82a\geq 8. Suppose that d(x)2akd(x)\geq 2a-k, d(y)a+k d(y)\geq a+k or d(y)2akd(y)\geq 2a-k, d(x)a+k d(x)\geq a+k for every pair of vertices x,yx,y with a common out-neighbour, where 2ka/22 \leq k\leq a/2. Is DD Hamiltonian? In this paper, we prove that if a digraph DD satisfies the conditions of this problem, then (i) DD contains a cycle factor, (ii) for every vertex xV(D)x\in V(D) there exists a vertex yV(D)y\in V(D) such that xx and yy have a common out-neighbour.
