Lichiardopol's minimum out-degree conjecture for directed cycles of distinct lengths
Lichiardopol's minimum out-degree conjecture for directed cycles of distinct lengths
For a digraph , its minimum out-degree is the minimum number of outgoing edges over all vertices of . Lichiardopol's conjecture. For every , there exists an integer such that every digraph of minimum out-degree at least contains vertex-disjoint directed cycles of distinct lengths. The source states that this directed analogue is famously open and is not known for any minimum out-degree condition depending only on .
