Abstract

We prove that for all l >= 3 and beta > 0 there exists a sparse oriented graph of arbitrarily large order with oriented girth l and such that any 1/2 + beta proportion of its arcs induces an oriented cycle of length l. As a corollary we get that there exist infinitely many oriented graphs with vanishing density of oriented girth l such that deleting any 1/l-fraction of their edges does not destroy all their oriented cycles. The proof is probabilistic. (AU)
