Gabriëlle Zwaneveld, On Seymour-tight orientations
I discuss 'almost counterexamples' to Seymour's second neighbourhood conjecture. In what we call Seymour-tight orientations, the size of the first neighbourhood of each vertex equals the size of its second neighbourhood. We give several examples and constructions. Specifically, we prove that the class of Seymour-tight orientations is closed under taking (generalized) lexicographic products. Moreover, the …
