A vertex in a directed graph is said to have a large second neighborhood if it has at least as many second out-neighbors as out-neighbors. The Second Neighborhood Conjecture, first stated by Seymour, asserts that there is a vertex having a…

Seymour conjectured that every oriented simple graph contains a vertex whose second neighborhood is at least as large as its first. Seymour's conjecture has been verified in several special cases, most notably for tournaments by Fisher. One…
We prove Seymour's Second Neighborhood Conjecture when the missing graph is disjoint stars under some conditions. Weaker conditions are required when n=2 or 3. In some cases, we exhibit two vertices with the desired property.

A longstanding conjecture of Seymour states that in every oriented graph there is a vertex whose second outneighbourhood is at least as large as its outneighbourhood. In this short note we show that, for any fixed $p\in[0,1/2)$, a.a.s.…
The Second Neighborhood Conjecture states that every simple digraph has a vertex whose second out-neighborhood is at least as large as its first out-neighborhood, i.e. a vertex with the Second Neighborhood Property. A cycle intersection…

Let D be a simple digraph without loops or digons. For any v in V(D) let N_1(v) be the set of all nodes at out-distance 1 from v and let N_2(v) be the set of all nodes at out-distance 2. We provide sufficient conditions under which there…

This paper gives an approximate result related to Seymour's Second Neighborhood conjecture, that is, for any $m$-free digraph $G$, there exists a vertex $v\in V(G)$ and a real number $\lambda_m$ such that $d^{++}(v)\geq \lambda_m d^+(v)$,…
Seymour's distance two conjecture states that in any digraph there exists a vertex (a "Seymour vertex") that has at least as many neighbors at distance two as it does at distance one. We explore the validity of probabilistic statements…
In this note we propose a generalisation of Seymour's Second Neighbourhood Conjecture to two directed graphs on a vertex set. We prove that this generalisation holds in the case of tournaments, and we show that a natural strengthening of…
