In this paper, we give bounds on the dichromatic number $vec{chi}(Sigma)$ of a surface $Sigma$, which is the maximum dichromatic number of an oriented graph embeddable on $Sigma$. We determine the asymptotic behaviour of $vec{chi}(Sigma)$ by showing that there exist constants $a_1$ and $a_2$ such that, $ a_1frac{sqrt{-c}}{log(-c)} leq vec{chi}(Sigma) leq a_2 frac{sqrt{-c}}{log(-c)} $ for every surface $Sigma$ with Euler characteristic $cleq -2$. We then give more explicit bounds for some surfaces with high Euler characteristic. In particular, we show that the dichromatic numbers of the projective plane $mathbb{N}_1$, the Klein bottle $mathbb{N}_2$, the torus $mathbb{S}_1$, and Dycks surface $mathbb{N}_3$ are all equal to $3$, and that the dichromatic numbers of the $5$-torus $mathbb{S}_5$ and the $10$-cross surface $mathbb{N}_{10}$ are equal to $4$. We also consider the complexity of deciding whether a given digraph or oriented graph embedabble in a fixed surface is $k$-dicolourable. In particular, we show that for any surface, deciding whether a digraph embeddable on this surface is $2$-dicolourable is NP-complete, and that deciding whether a planar oriented graph is $2$-dicolourable is NP-complete unless all planar oriented graphs are $2$-dicolourable (which was conjectured by Neumann-Lara).
Let $D$ be an oriented graph. The inversion of a set $X$ of vertices in $D$ consists in reversing the direction of all arcs with both ends in $X$. The inversion number of $D$, denoted by ${rm inv}(D)$, is the minimum number of
We show that the cop number of every generalized Petersen graph is at most 4. The strategy is to play a modified game of cops and robbers on an infinite cyclic covering space where the objective is to capture the robber or force the robber towards an
In 1985, Mader conjectured the existence of a function $f$ such that every digraph with minimum out-degree at least $f(k)$ contains a subdivision of the transitive tournament of order $k$. This conjecture is still completely open, as the existence of
A frequency $n$-cube $F^n(4;2,2)$ is an $n$-dimensional $4$-by-...-by-$4$ array filled by $0$s and $1$s such that each line contains exactly two $1$s. We classify the frequency $4$-cubes $F^4(4;2,2)$, find a testing set of size $25$ for $F^3(4;2,2)$,
In 1973, Brown, ErdH{o}s and Sos proved that if $mathcal{H}$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices which contains no triangulation of the sphere, then $mathcal{H}$ has at most $O(n^{5/2})$ edges, and this bound is the best possible up to a consta
