Feedback vertex sets of digraphs with bounded maximum degree
Jiangdong Ai, Gregory Gutin, Xiangzhou Liu +2
A digraph is an oriented graph if does not have a pair of opposite arcs. The degree of a vertex of is the sum of the in-degree and out-degree of Let b…
Odd Induced Subgraphs in Graphs of Maximum Degree Four
Jiangdong Ai, Qiwen Guo, Gregory Gutin +2
A graph is called odd if all of its vertex degrees are odd. A long-standing conjecture asked whether there exists a positive constant such that every -vertex graph without i…
Note on Long Directed Cycles in Eulerian Digraphs
Jiangdong Ai, Gregory Gutin, Fankang He +1
Huang, Ma, Shapira, Sudakov and Yuster (Comb. Prob. Comput. 2013) proved that every Eulerian digraph of average out-degree has a directed cycle of length at least W…
Large induced subgraphs with prescribed degree parity
Jiangdong Ai, Qiwen Guo, Gregory Gutin +2
A long-standing conjecture of Caro (Discrete Math, 1994), confirmed by Ferber and Krivelevich (Adv Math, 2022), states that every -vertex graph without isolated vertices con…
Judicious Partitions in Edge-Weighted Graphs with Bounded Maximum Weighted Degree
G. Gutin, M. A. Nielsen, A. Yeo +1
In this paper, we investigate bounds for the following judicious -partitioning problem: Given an edge-weighted graph , find a -partition of s…
Feedback Arc Sets and Feedback Arc Set Decompositions in Weighted and Unweighted Oriented Graphs
Gregory Gutin, Mads Anker Nielsen, Anders Yeo +1
Let be a digraph with at least one directed cycle. A set of arcs is a feedback arc set (FAS) if has no directed cycle. The FAS decomposition number ${\rm…
Oriented discrepancy of Hamilton cycles in oriented graphs satisfying Ore-type condition
Jiangdong Ai, Qiwen Guo, Gregory Gutin +4
Erd{\H o}s (1963) initiated extensive graph discrepancy research on 2-edge-colored graphs. Gishboliner, Krivelevich, and Michaeli (2023) launched similar research on oriented graph…
Upper bounds on minimum size of feedback arc set of directed multigraphs with bounded degree
Gregory Gutin, Hui Lei, Anders Yeo +1
An oriented multigraph is a directed multigraph without directed 2-cycles. Let denote the minimum size of a feedback arc set in an oriented multigraph . The degre…
Number of Subgraphs and Their Converses in Tournaments and New Digraph Polynomials
Jiangdong Ai, Gregory Gutin, Hui Lei +2
An oriented graph is converse invariant if, for any tournament , the number of copies of in is equal to that of its converse . El Sahili and Ghazo Hanna [J. Grap…
Lower Bounds for Maximum Weight Bisections of Graphs with Bounded Degrees
Stefanie Gerke, Gregory Gutin, Anders Yeo +1
A bisection in a graph is a cut in which the number of vertices in the two parts differ by at most 1. In this paper, we give lower bounds for the maximum weight of bisections of ed…
Note on Disjoint Cycles in Multipartite Tournaments
Gregory Gutin, Wei Li, Shujing Wang +2
In 1981, Bermond and Thomassen conjectured that for any positive integer , every digraph with minimum out-degree at least admits vertex-disjoint directed cycles. In t…
Some coordination problems are harder than others
Argyrios Deligkas, Eduard Eiben, Gregory Gutin +2
In order to coordinate players in a game must first identify a target pattern of behaviour. In this paper we investigate the difficulty of identifying prominent outcomes in two kin…
