Title
The reversing number of a digraph
Abstract
A minimum reversing set of a diagraph is a smallest sized set of arcs which when reversed makes the diagraph acyclic. We investigate a related issue: Given an acyclic diagraph D , what is the size of a smallest tournament T which has the arc set of D as a minimun reversing set? We show that such a T always exists and define the reversing number of an acyclic diagraph to be the number of vertices in T minus the number of vertices in D . We also derive bounds and exact values of the reversing number for certain classes of acyclic diagraphs.
