Abstract

We consider the following problem for oriented graphs and digraphs: given an oriented graph (digraph) G, does it contain an induced subdivision of a prescribed digraph D? The complexity of this problem depends on D and on whether G must be an oriented graph or is allowed to contain 2-cycles. We give a number of examples of polynomial instances as well as several NP-completeness proofs.
