We study the class of directed graphs that have indegree = outdegree = 2 a t every vertex. These digraphs can be decomposed uniquely into "alternating cycles"; w e use this decomposition to present efficient techniques for counting and generating them. The number (up to isomorphism) of these digraph

β¦ Synopsis
For the class of 2-diregular digraphs: (1) We give a simple closed form expression-a power of 2-for the number of difactors. (2) For the adjacency matrices of these graphs, we show an intimate relationship between the permanent and determinant. (3) We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the Cartesian product of two directed circuits to have a difactor with exactly k components thereby generalizing a result of Trotter and Erdos. Our results also show that a conjecture of Bondy, regarding vertex-t ransi t ive graphs, f ai Is to hold for vertex-t ra nsi t ive dig rap h s .

We characterize the class of self-complementary vertex-transitive digraphs on a prime number p of vertices. Using this, we enumerate (i) self-complementary strongly vertex-transitive digraphs on p vertices, (ii) self-complementary vertex-transitive digraphs on p vertices, (iii) selfcomplementary ver
## Abstract In this paper, we show that __n__ β©Ύ 4 and if __G__ is a 2βconnected graph with 2__n__ or 2__n__β1 vertices which is regular of degree __n__β2, then __G__ is Hamiltonian if and only if __G__ is not the Petersen graph.

We show that if the independence number of a k-connected digraph D is at most k, then D has a spanning subgraph which consists of a union of vertex-disjoint directed circuits. As a corollary we determine the minimum number of edges required in a k-connected oriented graph to ensure the existence of
