A bound on judicious bipartitions of directed graphs

Abstract: Judicious partitioning problems on graphs ask for partitions that bound several quantities simultaneously, which have received a lot of attentions lately. Scott asked the following natural question: What is the maximum constant cd such that every directed graph D with m arcs and minimum outdegree d admits a bipartition V(D)=V1cupV2 satisfying mine(V1,V2),e(V2,V1)gecdm? Here, for i=1,2, e(Vi,V3−i) denotes the number of arcs in D from Vi to V3−i. Lee, Loh, and Sudakov %[Judicious partitions of directed graphs, Random Struct. Alg. 48 %(2016) 147--170] conjectured that every directed graph D with m arcs and minimum outdegree at least dge2 admits a bipartition V(D)=V1cupV2 such that [ min{e(V_1,V_2),e(V_2,V_1)}geq Big(frac{d-1}{2(2d-1)}+ o(1)Big)m. ] %While it is not known whether or not the minimum outdegree condition %alone is sufficient, w We show that this conjecture holds under the additional natural condition that the minimum indegree is also at least d.
