Title
Matching And Spanning Trails In Digraphs
Abstract
Let D be a digraph and let alpha(D), alpha'(D) and lambda(D) be independence number, the matching number and the arc-strong connectivity of D, respectively. Bang-Jensen and Thommasse in 2011 conjectured that every digraph D with lambda(D) >= alpha(D) is supereulerian. In [J. Graph Theory, 81(4), (2016) 393-402], it is shown that every digraph D with lambda(D) >= alpha'(D) is supereulerian. In this paper, we introduced the symmetric core of a digraph and use it to show that each of the following holds for a strong digraph D on n >= 3 vertices with lambda(D) >= alpha'(D) - 1.(i) There exists a family D(n) of well-characterized digraphs such that for any digraph D with alpha'(D) <= 2, D has a spanning trial if and only if D is not a member in D(n).(ii) If alpha'(D) >= 3, then D has a spanning trail.(iii) If alpha'(D) >= 3 and n >= 2 alpha'(D) + 3, then D is supereulerian.(iv) If lambda(D) >= alpha'(D) >= 4 and n >= 2 alpha'(D) + 3, then for any pair of vertices u and v of D, D contains a spanning (u, v)-trail.
