For an integer $k \ge 2$, let $A$ be a Boolean block matrix with blocks $A_{ij}$ for $1 \le i,j \le k$ such that $A_{ii}$ is a zero matrix and $A_{ij}+A_{ji}^T$ is a matrix with all elements $1$ but not both corresponding elements of…

A multipartite tournament is an orientation of a complete $k$-partite graph for some positive integer $k\geq 3$. We say that a multipartite tournament $D$ is tight if every partite set forms a clique in the $(1,2)$-step competition graph,…

A multipartite tournament is an orientation of a complete $k$-partite graph for some positive integer $k\geq 3$. We say that a multipartite tournament $D$ is tight if every partite set forms a clique in the $(1,2)$-step competition graph,…

Let $D$ be a digraph. A $k$-container of $D$ between $u$ and $v$, $C(u,v)$, is a set of $k$ internally disjoint paths between $u$ and $v$. A $k$-container $C(u,v)$ of $D$ is a strong (resp. weak) $k^{*}$-container if there is a set of $k$…

Decomposing a digraph into subdigraphs with a fixed structure or property is a classical problem in graph theory and a useful tool in a number of applications of networks and communication. A digraph is strongly connected if it contains a…

We say that a digraph $D$ is $(i,j)$-step competitive if any two vertices have an $(i,j)$-step common out-neighbor in $D$ and that a graph $G$ is $(i,j)$-step competitively orientable if there exists an $(i,j)$-step competitive orientation…

In this paper, we study $(1,2)$-step competition graphs of bipartite tournaments. A bipartite tournament means an orientation of a complete bipartite graph. We show that the $(1,2)$-step competition graph of a bipartite tournament has at…

In this paper, we extend the results given by Park {\em et al.} \cite{ppk} by studying the convergence of the matrix sequence $\{\Gamma(A^m)\}_{m=1}^\infty$ for a matrix $A \in \mathcal{B}_n$ the digraph of which is linearly connected with…

The competition graph of a digraph $D$ is a (simple undirected) graph which has the same vertex set as $D$ and has an edge between two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ if and only if there exists a vertex $v$ in $D$ such that $(x,v)$ and…

In this work we present a version of the so called Chen and Chv\'atal's conjecture for directed graphs. A line of a directed graph D is defined by an ordered pair (u, v), with u and v two distinct vertices of D, as the set of all vertices w…

A multipartite tournament is an orientation of a complete $c$-partite graph. In [L. Volkmann, A remark on cycles through an arc in strongly connected multipartite tournaments, Appl. Math. Lett. 20 (2007) 1148--1150], Volkmann proved that a…

In this paper, we completely characterize the $m$-step competition graph of a bipartite tournament for any integer $m \ge 2$. In addition, we compute the competition index and the competition period of a bipartite tournament.

A graph is called $d$-rigid if there exists a generic embedding of its vertex set into $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that every continuous motion of the vertices that preserves the lengths of all edges actually preserves the distances between all…

The niche graph of a digraph $D$ has $V(D)$ as the vertex set and an edge $uv$ if and only if $(u,w) \in A(D)$ and $(v,w) \in A(D)$, or $(w,u) \in A(D)$ and $(w,v) \in A(D)$ for some $w \in V(D)$. The notion of niche graph was introduced by…

The pattern of a matrix M is a (0,1)-matrix which replaces all non-zero entries of M with a 1. A directed graph is said to support M if its adjacency matrix is the pattern of M. If M is an orthogonal matrix, then a digraph which supports M…

For an oriented graph $D$ and a set $X\subseteq V(D)$, the inversion of $X$ in $D$ is the digraph obtained by reversing the orientations of the edges of $D$ with both endpoints in $X$. The inversion number of $D$, $\textrm{inv}(D)$, is the…

The competition-common enemy graph (CCE graph) of a digraph $D$ is the graph with the vertex set $V(D)$ and an edge $uv$ if and only if $u$ and $v$ have a common predator and a common prey in $D$. If each vertex of a digraph $D$ has…

Strongly chordal digraphs are included in the class of chordal digraphs and generalize strongly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. They are the digraphs that admit a linear ordering of its vertex set for which their adjacency…

We say that a digraph $D$ is competitive if any pair of vertices has a common out-neighbor in $D$ and that a graph $G$ is competitively orientable if there exists a competitive orientation of $G$. The notion of competitive digraphs arose…

Let $D$ be a connected oriented graph. A set $S \subseteq V(D)$ is convex in $D$ if, for every pair of vertices $x, y \in S$, the vertex set of every $xy$-geodesic, ($xy$ shortest directed path) and every $yx$-geodesic in $D$ is contained…
