Arc-disjoint in- and out-branchings rooted at the same vertex in compositions of digraphs
A digraph has a good pair at a vertex if has a pair of
arc-disjoint in- and out-branchings rooted at . Let be a digraph with
vertices and let be digraphs such that
has vertices Then the composition
is a digraph with vertex set and arc set
When is arbitrary, we obtain the following result: every strong digraph
composition in which for every , has a good pair
at every vertex of The condition of in this result cannot be
relaxed. When is semicomplete, we characterize semicomplete compositions
with a good pair, which generalizes the corresponding characterization by
Bang-Jensen and Huang (J. Graph Theory, 1995) for quasi-transitive digraphs. As
a result, we can decide in polynomial time whether a given semicomplete
composition has a good pair rooted at a given vertex
