Let $D$ be a strongly connected directed graph of order $n\geq 4$ vertices which satisfies the following condition for every triple $x,y,z$ of vertices such that $x$ and $y$ are non-adjacent: If there is no arc from $x$ to $z$, then…

We show that, for any graph $F$ and $\eta>0$, there exists a $d_0=d_0(F,\eta)$ such that every $n$-vertex $d$-regular graph with $d \geq d_0$ has a collection of vertex-disjoint $F$-subdivisions covering at least $(1-\eta)n$ vertices. This…

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices. For a vertex i in G, the degree d_i is the number of vertices adjacent to i and the average 2-degree m_i is the mean of the degrees of the vertices which are adjacent to i. The sequence of…

A conjecture of Jackson from 1981 states that every $d$-regular oriented graph on $n$ vertices with $n\leq 4d+1$ is Hamiltonian. We prove this conjecture for sufficiently large $n$. In fact we prove a more general result that for all…

Given a collection $\mathcal{D} =\{D_1,D_2,\ldots,D_m\}$ of digraphs on the common vertex set $V$, an $m$-edge digraph $H$ with vertices in $V$ is \textit{transversal} in $\mathcal{D}$ if there exists a bijection $\varphi :E(H)\rightarrow…

A directed graph (digraph) $ D $ is $ k $-linked if $ |D| \geq 2k $, and for any $ 2k $ distinct vertices $ x_1, \ldots, x_k, y_1, \ldots, y_k $ of $ D $, there exist vertex-disjoint paths $ P_1, \ldots, P_k $ such that $ P_i $ is a path…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected directed graph of order $n\geq 4$. In \cite{[14]} (J. of Graph Theory, Vol.16, No. 5, 51-59, 1992) Y. Manoussakis proved the following theorem: Suppose that $D$ satisfies the following condition for every…

For a vertex $x$ of a digraph, $d^+(x)$ ($d^-(x)$, resp.) is the number of vertices at distance 1 from (to, resp.) $x$ and $d^{++}(x)$ is the number of vertices at distance 2 from $x$. In 1995, Seymour conjectured that for any oriented…

Let $D$ be a strong digraph on $n=2m+1\geq 5$ vertices. In this paper we show that if $D$ contains a cycle of length $n-1$, then $D$ has also a cycle which contains all vertices with in-degree and out-degree at least $m$ (unless some…

We study Hamiltonicity and pancyclicity in the graph obtained as the union of a deterministic $n$-vertex graph $H$ with $\delta(H)\geq\alpha n$ and a random $d$-regular graph $G$, for $d\in\{1,2\}$. When $G$ is a random $2$-regular graph,…

In an edge-colored graph $(G,c)$, let $d^c(v)$ denote the number of colors on the edges incident with a vertex $v$ of $G$ and $\delta^c(G)$ denote the minimum value of $d^c(v)$ over all vertices $v\in V(G)$. A cycle of $(G,c)$ is called…

A classic result of Erd\H{o}s and P\'osa says that any graph contains either $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles or can be made acyclic by deleting at most $O(k \log k)$ vertices. Here we generalize this result by showing that for all numbers $k$…

In the Vertex Disjoint Paths with Congestion problem, the input consists of a digraph $D$, an integer $c$ and $k$ pairs of vertices $(s_i, t_i)$, and the task is to find a set of paths connecting each $s_i$ to its corresponding $t_i$,…

In the Directed Disjoint Paths problem, we are given a digraph $D$ and a set of requests $\{(s_1, t_1), \ldots, (s_k, t_k)\}$, and the task is to find a collection of pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $\{P_1, \ldots, P_k\}$ such that each…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected balanced bipartite directed graph of order $2a\geq 10$. Let $x,y$ be distinct vertices in $D$. $\{x,y\}$ dominates a vertex $z$ if $x\rightarrow z$ and $y\rightarrow z$; in this case, we call the pair…

Let $D$ be a strong digraph on $n\geq 4$ vertices. In [2, J. Graph Theory 22 (2) (1996) 181-187)], J. Bang-Jensen, G. Gutin and H. Li proved the following theorems: If (*) $d(x)+d(y)\geq 2n-1$ and $min \{d(x), d(y)\}\geq n-1$ for every pair…

A weighted digraph is a digraph such that every arc is assigned a nonnegative number, called the weight of the arc. The weighted outdegree of a vertex $v$ in a weighted digraph $D$ is the sum of the weights of the arcs with $v$ as their…

The dichromatic number $\vec{\chi}(D)$ of a digraph $D=(V,A)$ is the minimum number of sets in a partition $V_1,\ldots{},V_k$ of $V$ into $k$ subsets so that the induced subdigraph $D[V_i]$ is acyclic for each $i\in [k]$. This is a…

Given a digraph $D$, we denote by $\vec{\alpha}(D)$ the maximum size of an acyclic set of $D$ (i.e. a set of vertices which induces a subdigraph with no directed cycles), and by $\vec\chi(D)$ the minimum number of acyclic sets into which…

We prove the following theorem. Let $r\ge 4$ be an integer, and $G$ be a $K_{1,r}$-free $r$-edge-connected $r$-regular graph. Then, for every set $W$ of even number of vertices of $G$ such that the distance between any two vertices of $W$…
