Abstract:
A graph $G^*$ is a $k$-vertex extension of a graph $G$ if every graph obtained from $G^*$ by removing any $k$ vertices contains $G$. $k$-vertex extension of a graph $G$ with $n+k$ vertices is called minimal if among all $k$-vertex extensions of $G$ with $n+k$ vertices it has the minimal possible number of arcs. We study directed graphs, whose minimal vertex $1$-extensions have a specific number of additional arcs. A solution is given when the number of additional arcs equals one or two.
