Abstract
A semicycle is said to turn at a point a if the arcs incident to a are both to it or both from it. We prove that if a nonempty set of points of a finite directed graph contains a turning point of each semicycle, then one of its members is a turning point of every semicycle to which it belongs; and we indicate the application of this result to mathematical logic through the modeling of arguments by graphs.

In 1973, Kronk and Mitchem (Discrete Math. (5) 255-260) conjectured that the vertices, edges and faces of each plane graph G may be colored with D(G) + 4 colors, where D(G) is the maximum degree of G, so that any two adjacent or incident elements receive distinct colors. They succeeded in verifying
The main theme is the distribution of polynomials of given degree which split into a product of linear factors over a finite field. The work was motivated by the following problem on regular directed graphs. Extending a notion of Chung, Katz has defined a regular directed graph based on the k-algebr
A graph G=(V, E) is (x, y)-choosable for integers x> y 1 if for any given family In this paper, structures of some plane graphs, including plane graphs with minimum degree 4, are studied. Using these results, we may show that if G is free of k-cycles for some k # [3,4,5,6], or if any two triangles
We extend Halphen's theorem which characterizes solutions of certain nth-order differential equations with rational coefficients and meromorphic fundamental systems to a first-order n ร n system of differential equations. As an application of this circle of ideas we consider stationary rational alge
