A special case of a conjecture by Thomass\'e is that any oriented graph with minimum outdegree k contains a dipath of length 2k. For the sake of proving whether or not a counterexample exists, we present reductions and establish bounds on…

This is my dissertation about digraphs ordered by pp-constructability. We study in particular smooth digraphs, i.e., digraphs without sources or sinks, tournaments and semicomplete digraphs, orientations of paths and cycles, digraphs with…

Understanding how the cycles of a graph or digraph behave in general has always been an important point of graph theory. In this paper, we study the question of finding a set of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles (resp. directed cycles) of distinct…

In this paper, we investigate normal trees of directed graphs, which extend the fundamental concept of normal trees of undirected graphs. We prove that a directed graph $D$ has a normal spanning tree if and only if the topological space…

We consider the problem of immersing the complete digraph on t vertices in a simple digraph. For Eulerian digraphs, we show that such an immersion always exists whenever minimum degree is at least t(t-1), and for t at most 4 minimum degree…

We consider packing tree degree sequences in this paper. We set up a conjecture that any arbitrary number of tree degree sequences without common leaves have edge disjoint tree realizations. This conjecture is known to be true for $2$ and…

A spanning tree of a graph is a connected subgraph on all vertices with the minimum number of edges. The number of spanning trees in a graph $G$ is given by Matrix Tree Theorem in terms of principal minors of Laplacian matrix of $G$. We…

A circle graph is an intersection graph of a set of chords of a circle. We describe the unavoidable induced subgraphs of circle graphs with large treewidth. This includes examples that are far from the `usual suspects'. Our results imply…

We prove that for all $0\leq t\leq k$ and $d\geq 2k$, every graph $G$ with treewidth at most $k$ has a `large' induced subgraph $H$, where $H$ has treewidth at most $t$ and every vertex in $H$ has degree at most $d$ in $G$. The order of $H$…

We prove that every Eulerian orientation of $K_{m,n}$ contains $\frac{1}{4+\sqrt{8}}mn(1-o(1))$ arc-disjoint directed 4-cycles, improving earlier lower bounds. Combined with a probabilistic argument, this result is used to prove that every…

We show that for all $\gamma > 0$ and $\Delta \in \mathbb{N}$, there is some $n_0$ such that, if $n \geq n_0$, then every oriented graph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree at least $(3/8 + \gamma)n$ contains a copy of each oriented…

Let $G$ be a graph, let $k$ be a positive integer, and let $p:V(G)\rightarrow Z_k$ be a mapping with $|E(G)| \stackrel{k}{\equiv}\sum_{v\in V(G)}p(v) $. In this paper, we show that if $G$ is $(3k-3)$-edge-connected, then it has an…

Let $k$ be a positive integer. A $k$-cycle-factor of an oriented graph is a set of disjoint cycles of length $k$ that covers all vertices of the graph. In this paper, we prove that there exists a positive constant $c$ such that for $n$…

A four blocks cycle C(k1,k2,k3,k4) is an oriented cycle formed by the union of four internally disjoint directed paths of lengths k1,k2,k3 and k4 respectively. El Mniny proved that if D is a digraph having a spanning out-tree T with no…
