Given a directed graph, can you determine if it can be drawn as a planar graph?

Say a directed graph has loops and has nodes directed towards each other. I would like to know if there is an algorithm for determining if the graph can be drawn as a planar graph.

Computing Longest Simple Path in a Particular Digraph

Let $D$ be a digraph as follows: I want to compute a longest simple path of it. For an acyclic digraph, there is a method I can run in Python that returns a longest path, but $D$ is not acyclic. I ...

Number of loops in a type of directed multigraph

I am interested in finite directed multi-graphs with one connected component, where each vertex comes with exactly 1 edge pointing out from it, which can point to another vertex, or itself. So self-...

Maximum number of edges in a balanced graph with n points, without small cycles (say, of length 2, 3, 4)

Let's say we have $n$ points numbered from $1$ to $n$. What is the maximum number of directed edges possible on a graph with these $n$ points: without any cycle of length $\leq k$, for example ...

chromatic number in directed graphs

the chromatic number in directed graphs $χ_A$(D) is defined as the smallest integer such that there is a coloration without monochromatic directed cycles. it follows that if D is a planar graph, then:...

Dificulty to prove chromatic number of directed planar graphs

So I was reading this question and tried to prove it but I don't understand the statements that the answer and comments say since I don't what is a 2-dim sphere and can't understand why $D$ can be ...

Show that if $D$ is a planar directed graph without directed edges going in both ways, then $χA (D) ≤ 3$

I have stuck been with this problem. I know that the chromatic number in a directe graph $χA (D)$ is defined as the smallest integer such that there is a coloration without monochromatic directed ...

Directed graph with $15$ edges and $16$ nodes

Does this kind of graph have a name other than it is an directed graph? Does it have a property or characteristics? Visually I see $15$ edges and $16$ nodes. I want to learn more about graphs, but ...

Say that a tournament T has 2-property, if for every distinct vertices u, w ∈ V ( T ), T has a (directed) u,w-path of length exactly 2.

Say that a tournament T has 2-property, if for every distinct vertices $u,w \in V(T)$, T has a (directed) u,w-path of length exactly 2. (In particular, if T has 2-property, then every vertex of T is a ...

Relationship between graphs describing horizontal and vertical cell network

In the July 1997 Scientific American issue, Ian Stewart wrote a piece about squared squares (see here): He uses vertical walls (in bold) as nodes and the squares as edges from which he can build up a ...

Planarity of a “cell graph”

I am working on a very simple model for biological cells arranged in a tissue, which can be expressed with directed acyclic graphs. In this model, which is explained in detail below, vertices are ...
