Abstract
We consider the problem of maximizing the number of induced copies of an oriented star in digraphs of given size, where the center of the star has out-degree k and in-degree ℓ. The case was solved by Huang in [11]. Here, we asymptotically solve it for all other oriented stars with at least seven vertices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Combinatorial Theory publishes original mathematical research dealing with theoretical and physical aspects of the study of finite and discrete structures in all branches of science. Series B is concerned primarily with graph theory and matroid theory and is a valuable tool for mathematicians and computer scientists.
