A packing of the complete directed symmetric graph DK v with m circuits, denoted by ( v,m) DCP, is defined to be a family of arc disjoint m circuits of DK v such that any one arc of DK v \ occurs in at most one m circuit. The packing number P(v,m) is the maximum number of m circuits in such a packing. The packing problem is to determine the value P(v,m) for every integer v≥m. In this paper, the problem is reduced to the case m+6≤v≤2m- 4m-3+12 , for any fixed even integer m≥4 . In particular, the values of P(v,m) are completely determined for m=12 , 14 and 16.
Abstract A packing of the complete directed symmetric graph DK v with m circuits, denoted by ( v,m) DCP, is defined to be a family of arc disjoint m circuits of DK v such that any one arc of DK v \ occurs in at most one m circuit. The packing number P(v,m) is the maximum number of m circuits in such a packing. The packing problem is to determine the value P(v,m) for every integer v≥m. In this paper, the problem is reduced to the case m+6≤v≤2m- 4m-3+12 , for any fixed even integer m≥4 . In particular, the values of P(v,m) are completely determined for m=12 , 14 and 16.
