An arc of D is called dependent if its reversal creates a directed cycle. Let d(D) denote the number of dependent arcs in D. Define m and M to be the minimum and the maximum number of d(D) over all acyclic orientations D of G. We call G fully orientable if G has an acyclic orientation with exactly k dependent arcs for every k satisfying m <= k <= M. In this paper, we prove that the square of a cycle C_n of length n is fully orientable except n=6.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-02-26T03:23:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C99" ], "keywords": [ "full orientability", "acyclic orientation", "dependent arcs", "reversal creates", "maximum number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.5721X" } } }
