Some inner metric parameters of a digraph: iterated line digraphs and integer sequences

In this paper, we first give a new result characterizing the strongly connected digraphs with a diameter equal to that of their line digraphs. Then we introduce the concepts of the inner diameter and inner radius of a digraph and study their behaviors in its iterated line digraphs. Furthermore, we p...

Sumario:In this paper, we first give a new result characterizing the strongly connected digraphs with a diameter equal to that of their line digraphs. Then we introduce the concepts of the inner diameter and inner radius of a digraph and study their behaviors in its iterated line digraphs. Furthermore, we provide a method to characterize sequences of integers (corresponding to the inner diameter or the number of vertices of a digraph and its iterated line digraphs) that satisfy some conditions. Among other examples, we apply the method to the cyclic Kautz digraphs, square-free digraphs, and the subdigraphs of De Bruijn digraphs. Finally, we present some tables with new sequences that do not belong to The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.
