Totally unimodular Leontief directed hypergraphs (Q1904049)

A Leontief directed hypergraph is a generalization of a directed graph, where arcs have multiple (or no) tails and at most one head. The authors define a subclass of Leontief directed hypergraphs via forbidden odd pseudocycles. They show that the vertex-hyperarc incidence matrices of the hypergraphs in this subclass are totally unimodular. In addition, they present examples of Leontief directed hypergraphs that are graphic, cographic, and neither graphic nor cographic.
