  1. A directed acyclic graph, a finite directed graph that contains no directed cycles.
    • In the study of the competition graph of an acyclic digraph, there are two fundamental questions which were proposed by Roberts in 1978: One is to characterize the acyclic digraphs that have interval competition graphs and the other is to characterize the graphs which are competition graphs of...1993, Suh-Ryung-Kim, The Competition Number and Its Variants, J.

    • Determining whether a graph has a hamiltonian path or circuit is NP-complete [3]. The problem remains NP-complete for cubic planar graphs [3], for maximal planar graphs [9], and for planar digraphs [3]. It can be trivially solved in polynomial time for planar acyclic digraphs.2009, Tamara Mchedlidze, Antonios Symvonis, Crossing-Optimal Acyclic HP-Completion for Outerplanar st-Digraphs, Hung Q.
