We consider 2-colored digraphs of the primitive ministrong digraphs having given exponents. In this paper we give bounds for 2-exponents of primitive extremal ministrong digraphs.

The Klee-Quaife problem is finding the minimum order ${\mu}(d,c,v)$ of the $(d,c,v)$ graph, which is a $c$-vertex connected $v$-regular graph with diameter $d$. Many authors contributed finding ${\mu}(d,c,v)$ and they also enumerated and classied the graphs in several cases. This problem is naturally extended to the case of digraphs. So we are interested in the extended Klee-Quaife problem. In this paper, we deal with an equivalent problem, finding the maximum diameter of digraphs with given order, focused on 2-regular case. We show that the maximum diameter of strongly connected 2-regular digraphs with order $n$ is $n-3$, and classify the digraphs which have diameter $n-3$. All 15 nonisomorphic extremal digraphs are listed.

Let D be a directed graph with p vertices and q arcs. A vertex out-magic total labeling is a bijection f from $V(D){\cup}A(D){\rightarrow}\{1,2,{\ldots},p+q\}$ with the property that for every $v{\in}V(D)$, $f(v)+\sum_{u{\in}O(v)}f((v,u))=k$, for some constant k. Such a labeling is called a V-super vertex out-magic total labeling (V-SVOMT labeling) if $f(V(D))=\{1,2,3,{\ldots},p\}$. A digraph D is called a V-super vertex out-magic total digraph (V-SVOMT digraph) if D admits a V-SVOMT labeling. In this paper, we provide a method to find the most vital nodes in a network by introducing the above labeling and we study the basic properties of such labelings for digraphs. In particular, we completely solve the problem of finding V-SVOMT labeling of generalized de Bruijn digraphs which are used in the interconnection network topologies.

Cho and Kim [4] and Kim [6] introduced the concept of the competition index of a digraph. Cho and Kim [4] and Akelbek and Kirkland [1] also studied the upper bound of competition indices of primitive digraphs. In this paper, we study the upper bound of competition indices of strongly connected digraphs. We also study the relation between competition index and ordinary index for a symmetric strongly connected digraph.

In this paper, we find the maximum exponent of D ${\times}$ E, the cartesian product of two digraphs D and E on n, n + 2 vertices, respectively for an even integer $n\geq4$. We also characterize the extrema cases.

In this paper we introduce two new labelings called product antimagic labeling and total product antimagic labeling for directed graphs and show the existence of the same for Cayley digraphs of 2-generated 2-groups.

In this paper we investigate the properties of (a, d)-vertex antimagic total labeling of a digraph D = (V, A). In this labeling, we assign to the vertices and arcs the consecutive integers from 1 to |V|+|A| and calculate the sum of labels at each vertex, i.e., the vertex label added to the labels on its out arcs. These sums form an arithmetical progression with initial term a and common difference d. We show the existence and non-existence of (a, d)-vertex antimagic total labeling for several class of digraphs, and show how to construct labelings for generalized de Bruijn digraphs. We conclude this paper with an open problem suitable for further research.

The 2-step competition graph of D has the same vertex set as D and an edge between vertices x and y if and only if there exist (x, z)-walk of length 2 and (y, z)-walk of length 2 for some vertex z in D. The 2-step competition number of a graph G is the smallest number k such that G together with k isolated vertices is the 2-step competition graph of an acyclic digraph. Cho, et al. showed that the 2-step competition number of a path of length at least two is two. In this paper, we characterize all the minimal acyclic digraphs whose 2-step competition graphs are paths of length n with two isolated vertices and construct all such digraphs.

A digraph is locally semicomplete if for every vertex $\chi$, the set of in-neighbors as well as the set of out-neighbors of $\chi$ induce semicomplete digraphs. Let D be a k-connected locally semicomplete digraph with k $\geq$ 3 and g denote the length of a longest induced cycle of D. It is shown that if D has at least 7(k-1)g vertices, then D has a factor composed of k cycles; furthermore, if D is semicomplete and with at least 5k ＋ 1 vertices, then D has a factor composed of k cycles and one of the cycles is of length at most 5. Our results generalize those of [3] for tournaments to locally semicomplete digraphs.

A two-colored digraph D is primitive if there exist nonnegative integers hand k with h + k > 0 such that for each pair (i, j) of vertices there exists an (h, k)-walk in D from i to j. The exponent of the primitive two-colored digraph D is the minimum value of h + k taken over all such hand k. In this paper, we give the tight upper bound on the exponents of a class of primitive two-colored digraphs with (s + 1) n-cycles and one (n - 1)-cycle, and the characterizations of the extremal two-colored digraphs.
