Nonstandard Transfinite Digraphs

Abstract

Nonstandard digraphs and transfinite digraphs have been defined and examined in two prior technical reports. The present work examines digraphs that are both nonstandard and transfinite. This requires a combination in certain ways of the techniques used in the prior two works. We first construct herein nonstandard transfinite digraphs for all the natural-number ranks. Then, a special kind of nonstandard transfinite digraph having the "arrow rank" $\vec{\omega }$ needs to be constructed. Once this is done, the first limit-ordinal rank $\omega$ can be attained. This procedure can be continued on to still higher ranks.
