In this paper it is shown that almost all digraphs G of order n contain only kernels K such that logn-loglogn-1.43~IKJ~logn-Ioglogn+2.11 and the number K(G) of kernels of G verifies na.9i3+o(i) < K(G) ...

New classes of panchromatic digraphs
2015
AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics
A digraph D = (V, A) with a k-colouring of its arcs ς : A → [k] is said to have a ς-kernel if there exists a subset K of V such that there are no monochromatic uv-paths for any two vertices u, v ∈ K , ...
D is said to be a panchromatic digraph if, for every k ≤ |A| and every k-colouring ς : A → [k], D has a ς-kernel. In this paper we study the panchromaticity of cycles. ...
In that context, a kernel represents a set of winning positions in a game. Almost forty years later, in 1982, the concept of ς -kernel makes its first appearance in [4] . ...

Perfect graphs with polynomially computable kernels
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Not all digraphs have a kernel, but a theorem due to Boros and Gurvich guarantees the existence of a kernel in every clique-acyclic orientation of a perfect graph. ...
However, an open question is the complexity status of the computation of a kernel in such a digraph. ...
Not all digraphs admit a kernel: for example a directed cycle of length three has no kernel. It has been shown by Chvátal [6] that deciding if a digraph has a kernel is NP-complete. ...

We also show that only the uniform distribution can be realised as the outdegree distribution of a unique tournament limit. ...
Finally we define self-converse tournament limits and kernels and characterise their degree distributions and score functions. ...
Since t(F, G(n, W )) → t(F, W ) almost surely, we have that each tournament kernel represents some tournament limit. ...

Polynomial kernels for deletion to classes of acyclic digraphs
2017
Discrete Optimization
We consider the problem to find a set X of vertices (or arcs) with |X| ≤ k in a given digraph G such that D = G − X is an acyclic digraph. ...
The existence of a polynomial kernel for these problems is a notorious open problem in the field of kernelization, and little progress has been made. ...
We consider all three problems on general digraphs, and observe that each is NP-hard, even on acyclic digraphs. More importantly, we show that all three problems admit a polynomial kernel. ...

Algorithmic aspects of quasi-kernels
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In 1976 Erdős and Székely conjectured that every sink-free digraph D = (V, A) has a quasi-kernel of size at most |V|/2. ...
In a digraph, a quasi-kernel is a subset of vertices that is independent and such that every vertex can reach some vertex in that set via a directed path of length at most two. ...
Clearly, not every digraph has a kernel (for instance, a directed cycle of odd length does not contain a kernel) and a digraph may have several kernels. ...
