Extremal Irregular Digraphs

2018

A digraph is called irregular if its distinct vertices have distinct degree pairs. An irregular digraph is called minimal (maximal) if the removal of any arc (addition of any new arc) results in a non-irregular digraph. It is easily seen that the minimum sizes among irregular n-vertex whether digraphs or oriented graphs are the same and are asymptotic to (√2/3) n3/2; maximum sizes, however, are asymptotic to n2 and n2/2, respectively. Let s stand for the sum of initial positive integers, s = 1, 3, 6, . . . . An oriented graph Hs and a digraph Fs, both large (in terms of the size), minimal irregular, and on any such s vertices, s ≥ 21, are constructed in [Large minimal irregular digraphs, Op…
