An acyclic set in a digraph is a set of vertices that induces an acyclic subgraph. In 2011, Harutyunyan conjectured that every planar digraph on $n$ vertices without directed 2-cycles possesses an acyclic set of size at least $3n/5$. We prove this conjecture for digraphs where every directed cycle has length at least 8. More generally, if $g$ is the length of the shortest directed cycle, we show that there exists an acyclic set of size at least $(1 - 3/g)n$.

Given a digraphD, let δ0(D) := min{δ+(D), δ−(D)} be the minimum semi-degree ofD. We show that every sufficiently large digraphDwith δ0(D)≥n/2 +l−1 isl-linked. The bound on the minimum semi-degree is best possible and confirms a conjecture of Manoussakis [17]. We also determine the smallest minimum semi-degree which ensures that a sufficiently large digraphDisk-ordered,i.e., that for every sequences1, . . .,skof distinct vertices ofDthere is a directed cycle which encounterss1, . . .,skin this order. This result will be used in [16].

AbstractA balanced directed cycle design with parameters (υ, k, 1), sometimes called a (υ, k, 1)-design, is a decomposition of the complete directed graph into edge disjoint directed cycles of length k. A complete classification is given of (υ, k, 1)-designs admitting the holomorph {øa, b: x ↦ ax + b∣ a, b ∈ Zυ, (a, υ1) = 1} of the cyclic group Zυ as a group of automorphisms. In particular it is shown that such a design exists if and ony if one of (a) k = 2, (b) p ≡ 1 (mod k) for each prime p dividing υ, or (c) k is the least prime dividing υ, k2 does not divide υ, and p ≡ 1 (mod k) for each prime p < k dividing υ.

Ann×nmatrix is called anN0-matrix if all its specified principal minors are nonpositive. In the context of partial matrices, a partial matrix is called a partialN0-matrix if all its specified principal minors are nonpositive. In this paper we characterize the existence of anN0-matrix completion of a partialN0-matrix whose associated graph is a directed cycle.
