Abstract

Let S-k (n) be the maximum number of orientations of an n-vertex graph G in which no copy of K-k is strongly connected. For all integers n, k >= 4 where n >= 5 or k >= 5, we prove that S-k (n) = 2(tk-1(n)), where t(k-1) (n) is the number of edges of the n-vertex (k - 1)-partite Turan graph Tk-1 (n), and that Tk-1 (n) is the only n-vertex graph with this number of orientations. Furthermore, S-4(4) = 40 and this maximality is achieved only by K-4. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (AU)
