Orientations of Graphs With at Most One Directed Path Between Every Pair of Vertices
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Given a graph G $G$, we say that an orientation D $D$ of G $G$ is a KT orientation if, for all u , v ∈ V ( D ) $u,v\in V(D)$, there is at most one directed path (in any direction) between u $u$ and v $v$. Graphs that admit such orientations have been used to construct graphs with large chromatic number and small clique number that served as ...
