摘要
An oriented graph is a digraph with no symmetric pairs of directed arcs and without loops. The score of a vertex vi in an oriented graph D is a(vi) ( or simply a(i)) = n - 1 + d(vi)(+) - d(vi)(-), where d(vi)(+) and d(vi)(-) are the outdegree and indegree, respectively, of v(i) and n is the number of vertices in D. In this paper, we give a new proof of Avery's theorem and obtain some stronger inequalities for scores in oriented graphs. We also characterize strongly transitive oriented graphs.
