Some $alpha$-spectral extremal results for some digraphs

In this paper, we characterize the extremal digraphs with the maximal or minimal $alpha$-spectral radius among some digraph classes such as rose digraphs, generalized theta digraphs and tri-ring digraphs with given size $m$. These digraph classes are denoted by $mathcal{R}_{m}^k$, $widetilde{boldsymbol{Theta}}_k(m)$ and $INF(m)$ respectively. The main results about spectral extremal digraph by Guo and Liu in cite{MR2954483} and Li and Wang in cite{MR3777498} are generalized to $alpha$-spectral graph theory. As a by-product of our main results, an open problem in cite{MR3777498} is answered. Furthermore, we determine the digraphs with the first three minimal $alpha$-spectral radius among all strongly connected digraphs. Meanwhile, we determine the unique digraph with the fourth minimal $alpha$-spectral radius among all strongly connected digraphs for $0le alpha le frac{1}{2}$.
