Strongly connected orientation with minimum lexicographic order of indegrees

Combinatorics 2021-03-02 v1

Abstract

Given a simple undirected graph GG, an orientation of GG is to assign every edge of GG a direction. Borradaile et al gave a greedy algorithm SC-Path-Reversal (in polynomial time) which finds a strongly connected orientation that minimizes the maximum indegree, and conjectured that SC-Path-Reversal is indeed optimal for the "minimizing the lexicographic order" objective as well. In this note, we give a positive answer to the conjecture, that is we show that the algorithm SC-PATH-REVERSAL finds a strongly connected orientation that minimizes the lexicographic order of indegrees.
