Seymour's second-neighborhood conjecture from a different perspective

Combinatorics 2019-07-31 v1

Abstract

Seymour's Second-Neighborhood Conjecture states that every directed graph whose underlying graph is simple has at least one vertex vv such that the number of vertices of out-distance 22 from vv is at least as large as the number of vertices of out-distance 11 from it. We present alternative statements of the conjecture in the language of linear algebra.
