Abstract

In \cite{TY}, we investigate the pair (P,\Supp(P))(P, \Supp(P)) of minimal path PP and its supporting sub-digraph \Supp(P)\Supp(P) in the path complex of a digraph GG under the strongly regular condition. In this paper, first, we consider the special minimal path PP specified by the admissible condition (Definition \ref{admpair}), which means that (P,\Supp(P))(P,\Supp(P)) admits a singular cubical realization. Based on such a subset, we systematically introduce the definitions of cellular chain complex associated to GG and prove the well-definedness. Then we study several properties of such cellular homologies. Finally, we present several intriguing examples as well as some important observations.
