Abstract
An (s, t)โdirected star is a directed graph with s + t + 1 vertices and s + t arcs; s vertices have indegree zero and outdegree one, t have indegree one and outdegree zero, and one has indegree s and outdegree t. An (s, t)โdirected star decomposition is a partition of the arcs of a complete directed graph of order n into (s, t)โdirected starsx. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions on s, t, and n for an (s, t)โdirected star decomposition of order n to exist.

Then D contains two vertex-disjoint directed cycles of lengths 2nl and 2n2, respectively, for any positive integer partition n = n~ + n2. Moreover, the condit

We provide upper estimates on the spectral radius of a directed graph. In particular w e prove that the spectral radius is bounded by the maximum of the geometric mean of in-degree and out-degree taken over all vertices.
