It follows that a directed graph is an oriented graph if and only if it hasn't any 2-cycle. at most one of ( x, y) and ( y, x) may be arrows of the graph). Oriented graphs are directed graphs having no bidirected edges (i.e.There are extensions of quasi-transitive digraphs called k-quasi-transitive digraphs. A semicomplete digraph is a quasi-transitive digraph. Note that there can be just one arc between x and z or two arcs in opposite directions. Quasi-transitive digraphs are simple digraphs where for every triple x, y, z of distinct vertices with arcs from x to y and from y to z, there is an arc between x and z.Every semicomplete digraph is a semicomplete multipartite digraph, where the number of vertices equals the number of partite sets. Semicomplete digraphs are simple digraphs where there is an arc between each pair of vertices.Note that there can be one arc between x and y or two arcs in the opposite directions. Semicomplete multipartite digraphs are simple digraphs in which the vertex set is partition into partite sets such that for every pair of vertices x and y in different partite sets, there is an arc between x and y.It follows that a complete digraph is symmetric. Complete directed graphs are simple directed graphs where each pair of vertices is joined by a symmetric pair of directed arcs (it is equivalent to an undirected complete graph with the edges replaced by pairs of inverse arcs).Some authors describe digraphs with loops as loop-digraphs. As already introduced, in case of multiple arrows the entity is usually addressed as directed multigraph. Simple directed graphs are directed graphs that have no loops (arrows that directly connect vertices to themselves) and no multiple arrows with same source and target nodes.
