Sur la contraction des graphes orientés en \(K^ *_ 3\). (On the contraction of digraphs onto \(K^ *_ 3)\) (Q1091394)

The authors prove the following Meyniel's conjecture: If \(p=2\) and if \(d^+(x)\geq p\) and \(d^-(x)\geq p\) for every vertex x of a digraph D, then D is subcontractible onto \(K^*_{p+1}\). They conjecture the same fact with \(p=3\).
