We prove that every oriented tree on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree appears as a spanning subdigraph of every directed graph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree at least $n/2+o(n)$. This can be seen as a directed graph…

Directed graphs can be studied by their associated directed flag complex. The homology of this complex has been successful in applications as a topological invariant for digraphs. Through comparison with path homology theory, we derive a…

We describe structural properties of strongly connected finite directed graphs, that are invariants of the topological conjugacy of their Markov-Dyck shifts. For strongly connected finite directed graphs with these properties topological…

The theory of graphons has proven to be a powerful tool in many areas of graph theory. In this paper, we introduce several foundational aspects of the theory of digraphons -- asymmetric two-variable functions that arise as limits of…

A mixed graph $G$ is a graph that consists of both undirected and directed edges. An orientation of $G$ is formed by orienting all the undirected edges of $G$, i.e., converting each undirected edge $\{u,v\}$ into a directed edge that is…

The active bijection forms a package of results studied by the authors in a series of papers in oriented matroids. The present paper is intended to state the main results in the particular case, and more widespread language, of graphs. We…

In this study, we challenge the traditional approach of frequency analysis on directed graphs, which typically relies on a single measure of signal variation such as total variation. We argue that the inherent directionality in directed…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ be its adjacency matrix. A graph $G$ is invertible if its adjacency matrix $A$ is invertible and the inverse of $G$ is a weighted graph with adjacency matrix $A^{-1}$. A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a weighted…

Let $B$ be a bidirected multigraph with signing $\sigma$, let $X$ be a set of vertices in $B$, and let $k$ be a non-negative integer. For any pair of vertex sets $S,T\subset V(B)$ satisfying $X\cap S = X\cap T$, we denote by $B_{S,T}$ the…

The canonical tree-decomposition theorem, given by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal graph minors series, turns out to be one of the most important tool in structural and algorithmic graph theory. In this paper, we provide the…

Two important invariants of directed graphs, namely magnitude homology and path homology, have recently been shown to be intimately connected: there is a 'magnitude-path spectral sequence' or 'MPSS' in which magnitude homology appears as…

In this paper, we give the following result: If $D$ is a digraph of order $n$, and if $d_{D}^{+}(u) + d_{D}^{-}(v) \ge n$ for every two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ with $(u, v) \notin A(D)$, then $D$ has a directed $2$-factor with exactly…

We study two classes of inverse semigroups built from directed graphs, namely graph inverse semigroups and a new class of semigroups that we refer to as Leavitt inverse semigroups. These semigroups are closely related to graph…

A directed graph G (V, E) is strongly connected if and only if, for a pair of vertices X and Y from V, there exists a path from X to Y and a path from Y to X. In Computer Science, the partition of a graph in strongly connected components is…

Bidirected graphs are a generalisation of directed graphs that arises in the study of undirected graphs with perfect matchings. Menger's famous theorem - the minimum size of a set separating two vertex sets $X$ and $Y$ is the same as the…

Random directed graphs $D(n,p)$ undergo a phase transition around the point $p = 1/n$, and the width of the transition window has been known since the works of Luczak and Seierstad. They have established that as $n \to \infty$ when $p = (1…
