On random digraphs and cores

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: An acyclic homomorphism of a digraph C to a digraph D is a function hocolonV(C)oV(D) such that for every arc uv of C, either ho(u)=ho(v), or ho(u)ho(v) is an arc of D and for every vertex vinV(D), the subdigraph of C induced by ho−1(v) is acyclic. A digraph D is a core if the only acyclic homomorphisms of D to itself are automorphisms. In this paper, we prove that for certain choices of p(n), random digraphs DinD(n,p(n)) are asymptotically almost surely cores. For digraphs, this mirrors a result from [A. Bonato and P. Pra{l}at, The good, the bad, and the great: homomorphisms and cores of random graphs, Discrete Math., 309 (2009), no. 18, 5535-5539; MR2567955] concerning random graphs and cores.
