We consider Directed Steiner Forest (DSF), a fundamental problem in network design. The input to DSF is a directed edge-weighted graph $G = (V, E)$ and a collection of vertex pairs $\{(s_i, t_i)\}_{i \in [k]}$. The goal is to find a minimum…

A mixed graph can be seen as a type of digraph containing some edges (two opposite arcs). Here we introduce the concept of sequence mixed graphs, which is a generalization of both sequence graphs and iterated line digraphs. These structures…
