Let $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ be two integers with $n_{1},n_{2}\geq3$ and $G$ a graph of order $n=n_{1}+n_{2}$. As a generalization of Ore's degree condition for the existence of Hamilton cycle in $G$, El-Zahar proved that if $\delta(G)\geq…

In the homomorphism order of digraphs, a duality pair is an ordered pair of digraphs $(G,H)$ such that for any digraph, $D$, $G\to D$ if and only if $D\not\to H$. The directed path on $k+1$ vertices together with the transitive tournament…

The digirth of a digraph is the length of a shortest directed cycle. The dichromatic number $\vec{\chi}(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the smallest size of a partition of the vertex-set into subsets inducing acyclic subgraphs. A conjecture by…

Let D be a directed graph with vertex set V and order n. An anti-directed hamiltonian cycle H in D is a hamiltonian cycle in the graph underlying D such that no pair of consecutive arcs in H form a directed path in D. An anti-directed…

An ordered graph $G_<$ is a graph with a total ordering $<$ on its vertex set. A monotone path of length $k$ is a sequence of vertices $v_1<v_2<\ldots<v_k$ such that $v_iv_{j}$ is an edge of $G_<$ if and only if $|j-i|=1$. A bi-clique of…

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…

This is an expository paper. A $1$-cycle in a graph is a set $C$ of edges such that every vertex is contained in an even number of edges from $C$. E.g., a cycle in the sense of graph theory is a $1$-cycle, but not vice versa. It is easy to…

The graph of overlapping permutations is a directed graph that is an analogue to the De Bruijn graph. It consists of vertices that are permutations of length $n$ and edges that are permutations of length $n+1$ in which an edge $a_1\cdots…

In a seminal work, K\"uhn, Osthus, Townsend, and Zhao used the hypergraph container method to determine the typical structure of oriented graphs and digraphs avoiding a fixed tournament or cycle. Their main tool, a container theorem for…

A graph $G$ on $m$ vertices is pancyclic if it contains cycles of length $l$, $3\leq l \leq m$ as subgraphs in $G$. The complete graph $K_{9}$ on 9 vertices with a cycle $C_{9}$ of length 9 deleted from $K_{9}$ is denoted by…

We prove that the canonical orientation of the generalized Kneser graph $KG(n,k,s)$ contains a directed Hamiltonian cycle for all integers $s \geq 3$ and $n>sk$. Furthermore, we establish that the dichromatic number of this oriented graph…

A bicirculant is a regular, $d$-valent graph that admits a semiregular automorphism of order $m$ having two vertex-orbits of size $m$. The vertices of each orbit induce a circulant graph of order $m$ and the remaining edges span a regular…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be an acyclic digraph. For $x\in V$ define $e_{_{D}}(x)$ to be the difference of the indegree and the outdegree of $x$. An acyclic ordering of the vertices of $D$ is a one-to-one map $g: V \rightarrow [1,|V|] $ that has the…

The notion of p-competition graphs of digraphs was introduced by S-R. Kim, T. A. McKee, F. R. McMorris, and F. S. Roberts [p-competition graphs, Linear Algebra Appl., 217 (1995) 167--178] as a generalization of the competition graphs of…

Let $G = (V_G,E_G)$ be a simple connected graph. The eccentric distance sum of $G$ is defined as $\xi^d(G)=\sum_{v \in V_G}\,\varepsilon_G(v)D_G(v),$ where $\varepsilon_G(v)$ is the eccentricity of the vertex $v$ and $D_G(v)=\sum_{u \in…

For a digraph $D$ of order $n$ and an integer $1 \leq k \leq n-1$, the $k$-token digraph of $D$ is the graph whose vertices are all $k$-subsets of vertices of $D$ and, given two such $k$-subsets $A$ and $B$, $(A,B)$ is an arc in the…

Given a directed graph, an acyclic set is a set of vertices inducing a subgraph with no directed cycle. In this note we show that there exist oriented planar graphs of order $n$ for which the size of the maximum acyclic set is at most…

In 1996, in his last paper, Erd\H{o}s asked the following question that he formulated together with Faudree: is there a positive $c$ such that any $(n+1)$-regular graph $G$ on $2n$ vertices contains at least $c 2^{2n}$ distinct…

We study the existence of directed Hamilton cycles in random digraphs with $m$ edges where we condition on minimum in- and out-degree $\d \ge k+1$, where $k \ge 1$. Denote such a random graph by $D_{n,m}^{(\delta\geq k+1)}$. Let $m=cn$ and…

Let $G$ be a strongly connected directed graph of order $p\geq 3$. In this paper, we show that if $d(x)+d(y)\geq 2p-2$ (respectively, $d(x)+d(y)\geq 2p-1$) for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x, y$, then $G$ contains a Hamiltonian path…
