Bang-Jensen, Bessy, Havet and Yeo showed that every digraph of independence number at most 2 and arc-connectivity at least 2 has an out-branching $B^+$ and an in-branching $B^-$ which are arc-disjoint (such two branchings are called a {it good pair}), which settled a conjecture of Thomassen for digraphs of independence number 2. They also proved that every digraph on at most 6 vertices and arc-connectivity at least 2 has a good pair and gave an example of a 2-arc-strong digraph $D$ on 10 vertices with independence number 4 that has no good pair. They asked for the smallest number $n$ of vertices in a 2-arc-strong digraph which has no good pair. In this paper, we prove that every digraph on at most 9 vertices and arc-connectivity at least 2 has a good pair, which solves this problem.

Hakimi and Schmeichel determined a sharp lower bound for the number of cycles of length 4 in a maximal planar graph with $n$ vertices, $ngeq 5$. It has been shown that the bound is sharp for $n = 5,12$ and $ngeq 14$ vertices. However, it was only con
jectured by the authors about the minimum number of cycles of length 4 for maximal planar graphs with the remaining small vertex numbers. In this note we confirm their conjecture.
We prove that every digraph of independence number at most 2 and arc-connectivity at least 2 has an out-branching $B^+$ and an in-branching $B^-$ which are arc-disjoint (we call such branchings good pair). This is best possible in terms of the arc-
connectivity as there are infinitely many strong digraphs with independence number 2 and arbitrarily high minimum in-and out-degrees that have good no pair. The result settles a conjecture by Thomassen for digraphs of independence number 2. We prove that every digraph on at most 6 vertices and arc-connectivity at least 2 has a good pair and give an example of a 2-arc-strong digraph $D$ on 10 vertices with independence number 4 that has no good pair. We also show that there are infinitely many digraphs with independence number 7 and arc-connectivity 2 that have no good pair. Finally we pose a number of open problems.
Let $q_{min}(G)$ stand for the smallest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of a graph $G$ of order $n.$ This paper gives some results on the following extremal problem: How large can $q_minleft( Gright) $ be if $G$ is a graph of order $n,$ with n
o complete subgraph of order $r+1?$ It is shown that this problem is related to the well-known topic of making graphs bipartite. Using known classical results, several bounds on $q_{min}$ are obtained, thus extending previous work of Brandt for regular graphs. In addition, using graph blowups, a general asymptotic result about the maximum $q_{min}$ is established. As a supporting tool, the spectra of the Laplacian and the signless Laplacian of blowups of graphs are calculated.
This paper is devoted to the study of lower and upper bounds for the number of vertices of the polytope of $ntimes ntimes n$ stochastic tensors (i.e., triply stochastic arrays of dimension $n$). By using known results on polytopes (i.e., the Upper an
d Lower Bound Theorems), we present some new lower and upper bounds. We show that the new upper bound is tighter than the one recently obtained by Chang, Paksoy and Zhang [Ann. Funct. Anal. 7 (2016), no.~3, 386--393] and also sharper than the one in Linial and Lurias [Discrete Comput. Geom. 51 (2014), no.~1, 161--170]. We demonstrate that the analog of the lower bound obtained in such a way, however, is no better than the existing ones.
A basic combinatorial invariant of a convex polytope $P$ is its $f$-vector $f(P)=(f_0,f_1,dots,f_{dim P-1})$, where $f_i$ is the number of $i$-dimensional faces of $P$. Steinitz characterized all possible $f$-vectors of $3$-polytopes and Grunbaum cha
racterized the pairs given by the first two entries of the $f$-vectors of $4$-polytopes. In this paper, we characterize the pairs given by the first two entries of the $f$-vectors of $5$-polytopes. The same result was also proved by Pineda-Villavicencio, Ugon and Yost independently.
